The Deputy Federal Minister for Communications, Mr. Alexander Zharov, said that the Russian government will lower the import duty on light coated paper from the current 15 per cent to 5 per cent. He broke this news, long awaited by Russian publishers and printers, at the opening ceremony of the 5th Publishing Expo held in Moscow on 2-3 November. Russia does not produce light coated paper; high import tariffs have disadvantaged Russian printers compared to their foreign competitors.
