Russia weighs tax relief for low-value exports and fertilizer quotas

Russia is considering excluding shipments valued below €200 from temporary export taxes, along with goods destined for personal use and some items sold in duty-free shops. The plan also covers restrictions that could affect nitrogen and complex fertilizer exports, with authorities signaling a possible extension of export quotas through May 31, 2024, according to RBC. The move aims to ease small-scale cross-border commerce while keeping a tighter grip on broader export categories that impact industrial supply chains and farm inputs. This approach would shape how individuals and businesses price, ship, and claim tax relief on low-value consignments, particularly when multiple destinations or end users are involved and when goods cross borders in a single transport flow.
