Resolution of December 27, 2025 No. 2175

Effective January 1, 2026, the quota for exporting ferrous scrap and waste metals outside the Eurasian Economic Union will increase to 2.2 million tons. A resolution to this effect has been signed.

This quota will be in effect until December 31, 2026. This decision will allow industry participants to sell additional raw materials on the external market that are not in demand domestically.

Compared to the previous Cabinet decision, adopted in August 2025, the quota volume will increase by 400,000 tons. The quota will be distributed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade among foreign trade participants.

When exporting scrap and waste ferrous metals within the quota, the duty is 5%, but not less than 15 euros per ton; in excess of this, the duty is 5%, but not less than 290 euros per ton.
