KIEV, Feb. 16 – Ukraine will soon introduce additional import tax rates set at 5-10% and the rates will be in effect for 12 months, Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko said.

"This decision has been made today. As soon as certain lists of critical imports (medical and energy imports exempt from the tax) are ready, it will become effective," she said at a press conference in Kiev on Monday.

It's a matter of a few days, she said.
