Vegetable-oil makers in the Netherlands called on the country’s government to object to alleged Russian breaches of World Trade Organization tariff agreements for importing edible oils and fats.
Russia has maintained minimum import duties for palm oil, palm-kernel oil, coconut oil and some hydrogenated vegetable fats and oils, the Netherlands’ Product Board for Margarine, Fats and Oils, known by its Dutch acronym MVO, wrote in a statement on its website today. WTO tariff tables have no provision for minimum duties on those products, the board wrote.
