All customs arrangement are prepared to shift to united work. There are only certain details to coordinate on customs tariff unification, added Mr. Vanin. He is sure unified tariffs will cancel many current bilateral issues.
Tariffs may be unified quite soon if both countries display political goodwill and involved ministries make proper orders. Mr. Vanin wishes to see tariffs unified before the year ends. Such quickness will promote both countries' interests, he said.
