On 1 October Belarus increased export duties on some petroleum products exported outside the customs territory of the  Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The increase in export duties was formalized by the Council of Ministers' Resolution No.724 of 30 September, BelTA learned from the National Legal Internet Portal.

In line with the document, the export duty for 1 tonne of liquefied hydrocarbon gases was set at $45.2 (previously $20.8), for 1 tonne of ethane, butane and isobutane - $40.6 (previously $18.7).

Zero export duties will still apply for crude oil, straight-run gasoline, trimers and tetramers of propylene, light and medium distillates, diesel fuel, commercial gasoline, benzene, toluene, xylenes, fuel oil, lubricating oils, waste oil products, petroleum jelly and paraffin, petroleum coke and petroleum bitumen.
