The Russian Ministry of Natural Resources has launched an initiative to tighten the collection of environmental fees for importers of passenger car tires and packaging made from combined materials. This has been reported “Vedomosti”.
In the future, authorities plan to collect money from sellers of these goods imported from abroad before they even enter circulation in the country. Now importers pay the fee retroactively based on the results of the previous year.
At the same time, importers will be able to independently dispose of goods by reporting to the federal state information system (FSIS) or conclude an agreement with an accredited recycling organization to pay the environmental fee.
Rosprirodnadzor believes that the new eco-fee rules will not affect well-intentioned importers, but will make life difficult for those who use “gray” plans and avoid paying eco-fees.
