The Economic Development Ministry shall also develop strategies for calculating a tariff quota for the importers of Whey.
In addition, the Resolution empowers the Ministry to license Whey imports within the tariff quota set, for the period from 13 January 2014 until 31 December 2014. The Federal Customs Service shall provide the Ministry, starting in January 2014, with information on Whey amounts to be brought into the Russian Federation and, by 10 November 2014, with a list of foreign trade operators who imported Whey products from 1 September 2011 until 30 September 2014.
