The Russian Foreign Ministry explained the increase in tariffs on goods from unfriendly countries.
Moscow uses such measures as one of its responses to Western sanctions.
This statement was made by the director of the Department of Economic Cooperation, Dmitry Birchevsky.
"These decisions may include increasing import duty rates on specific products from unfriendly countries, limiting imports of a certain group of goods to Russia, export and import quotas," the diplomat told TASS.
