Ukraine-Armenia WTO Dispute Has Been Resolved

Ukraine has recently complained to the WTO regarding Armenia’s allegedly discriminatory taxes and custom duties on imported tobacco and alcohol products (see post of 9/20/10). A compromise resolution has been reached through amendments to Armenian laws. Armenia agreed to apply its domestic excise tax rate to alcohol imported from Ukraine. It appears, however, that the tax rates on imported tobacco products remained unchanged. Ukraine is expected to withdraw its complaint from the WTO in the near future.
