Haykakan Zhamanak: Armenia’s customs proceeds to increase after joining EaEU

According to the agreement on joining the Eurasian Economic Union, Armenia will receive 1.13% of the total customs proceeds, Haykakan Zhamanak writes. From January 1, 2015, Russia will get 86.97%, Kazakhstan 7.25%, Belarus 4.65% and Armenia 1.13%. Preliminary estimates suggest that Armenia will receive about $150 million in 2015. This is a much larger sum than, for instance, the total sum of the customs duties collected at the Armenian border last year ($105 million), the newspaper says.
