YEREVAN, March 31. /ARKA/. The Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) has extended the threshold of duty-free import of goods by individuals for another six months, the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) spokesperson Iya Malkina said on Thursday following a meeting of the EEC Council.

Until October 1 this year the threshold of duty-free import of goods by individuals will be 1000 euros and 31 kilograms for goods transported by carrier or by mail, imported by luggage by all means of transport, except by air, or on foot.
