I'm sorry, but could you provide link, where stated, VATs applied to import?

- As I know, usually VAT deducted from exported goods, but I really don't know how VAT work with import - usually on import used tariffs.

The VAT is applied at the time of sale to the end consumer, it's irrelevant if the product is imported or manufactured locally.

>Yes, imports of goods are subject to VAT, with taxation taking place when the goods clear through customs.
