Moldova applies quota on cement imports from Ukraine

The government of Moldova has introduced protective quotas and duties on several commodities including cement produced in Ukraine.

The resolution of the Moldovan government said products will be limited with quotas, while goods imported in excess of the restrictions will have protective duties applied. The quota for cement is 500t and if volumes imported from Ukraine exceed this level custom duties will be applied at 10 per cent.

The quotas will be granted on a "first come - first served" basis and the duties will be kept in place until late-2016.
