The business sector will deliver next week a counterproposal to President Lenin Moreno in order to avoid the Customs Service Control Fee of $ 0.10 per unit of imported merchandise and the collection of mixed tariffs to 375 subheadings.
President of the Chamber of Commerce of Quito Patricio Alarcón announced the measure in a press conference convened by the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, chaired by Pablo Arosemena, also head of the Chamber of Commerce of Guayaquil.
Arosemena described the measures as “overcharged safeguards.” “Rates and tariffs are a deadly combination equal to or worse than the safeguard measures,” said the leader, who disapproved the statements of the director of the National Customs Service Mauro Andino, who said that 70% of products entering the country are underpriced.
