August 29, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Individuals imported 321 electric vehicles into Belarus free of customs duties in the outgoing week, according to Pozirk<\/em>\u2019s analysis of the State Customs Committee\u2019s data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pace of electric vehicle imports under preferential terms has been accelerating for several consecutive weeks, from 251 vehicles on August 7, to 233 on August 14 and 269 on August 21. A government directive adopted in early May allows individuals to import 6,200 electric vehicles under preferential terms this year. So far, they have used nearly 93 percent of their allocated quota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies were allowed to import 13,800 electric vehicles duty-free and had exhausted their allocation by July 24. With the quota depleted, importers must pay a 15 percent duty on the vehicle\u2019s value, customs authorities warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, agency head U\u0142adzimir Ar\u0142o\u016dski said Belarus\u2019 overall quota was set under agreements within the Eurasian Economic Union at 20,000 vehicles per year. The Eurasian Economic Commission introduced the regulation in December 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days ago, the Belarusian Automobile Association\u00a0(BAA) said that domestic manufacturers, which mostly make fossil-fuel cars, are under pressure from foreign-made electric vehicles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
