Kazakhstan plans 15 pct aluminium alloy export duty

ALMATY June 10 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan will introduce a 15 percent export tariff on aluminium alloys from June 23, the government said on Thursday.

The export duty of 15 percent, or no less than 100 euros per metric tonne, was published on Thursday in the official Kazakhstanskaya Pravda gazette.

ENRC (ENRC.L: Quote), or Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation, produces primary aluminium at its smelter in the northeastern Kazakh city of Pavlodar. The company says it produced 45,000 tonnes of the metal in the first quarter of 2010, up 45 percent year-on-year. (Reporting by Olga Orininskaya, writing by Robin Paxton)
