The lower chamber of the Russian parliament, the State Duma, ratified on Friday two agreements on the Customs Union between Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus.

The two agreements, signed in May, specify a unified procedure for payment of customs duties and the peculiarities of rail transit.

The Customs Union between the three ex-Soviet neighbors became fully operational in early July, when the countries ratified the Customs Code. The states plan to scrap their customs borders on July 1, 2011.
