Some Amendments Made to the Decision on the Application of Additional Customs Duty in Imports

Amendment to the Decision on Additional Customs Duty in Imports: New Footnotes and 0% ACD Applications
Certain HS codes have been revised under the decision on the application of Additional Customs Duty (ACD) in imports. The regulation introduces 0% ACD for some products used as inputs in production under “end-use” conditions, while new duties and additional financial obligations have been imposed on certain glass and component groups.
Changes Effective 01.05.2025
•    HS 4811.51.00.90.19 & 4811.59.00.90.29: If used in non-food-contact production, ACD will be 0%, subject to end-use provisions.
•    HS 5602.10.19.00.00: For firms using needle-punched felt containing 20–40% PVA in production, ACD will be 0%, with end-use conditions applied.
•    HS 7228.50.69.00.19: For facilities producing engine valves, imports used as inputs will temporarily benefit from 0% ACD, also under end-use provisions.
Changes Effective 31.05.2025
•    HS 7007.19.80.00.23: For non-WTO member countries (except Azerbaijan), an additional financial obligation of USD 250/ton will apply alongside ACD.
•    HS 7020.00.80.00.00: ACD of 5% introduced, plus USD 250/ton for non-WTO members (except Azerbaijan).
•    HS 8503.00.98.90.19: ACD of 5% introduced.
•    HS 7007 group (safety glass): For non-WTO members (except Azerbaijan), an additional USD 250/ton obligation applies.
Implications for Companies
1.    Products benefiting from 0% ACD under end-use conditions require accurate declaration and compliance with usage requirements.
2.    For glass and similar products, country status-based additional costs may directly affect pricing and supply chain planning.
