KIEV, Oct. 21 – Kharkiv Tractor Plant has denied claims by the Income and Tax Ministry that the company failed to submit on time documents confirming the declared customs value of imported spare parts, as demanded by the Kharkiv Customs Service.

"As for the official position of the Income and Tax Ministry that Kharkiv Tractor Plant was untimely in submitting documents on the confirmation of the declared customs value, the top managers of the company declare that this is untrue. Actually, the auxiliary documents for the confirmation of the customs value were submitted on October 10, 2013, on the second day after the submission of the declaration," the company told Interfax-Ukraine.

Kharkiv Tractor Plant said that the products for which the Kharkiv Customs Service demanded additional documents have been supplied by long-term suppliers under direct contracts for a long period of time. Their customs value has not changed for a long time and did not raise questions with the customs agencies.
