KIEV, May 27 – The import duties on passenger autos with 1-2.2 liter engines introduced April 14 have had the effect of wiping out the imports this month, according to Oleh Nazarenko, head of the All-Ukrainian Association of Car Importers and Dealers (VAAID).

"According to the information I have from the customs service, since the moment the duties took effect, importers have not supplied cars to Ukraine. They managed to import a certain number of cars before the duties took effect," he said at a meeting with reporters.
