It is noted that the agency has already developed proposals for amendments to the legislation that will allow the purchase of pickup trucks and other goods necessary for the needs of the Armed Forces without paying excise, customs duties and VAT.
The company plans to sign several direct agreements with the largest pickup truck manufacturers to diversify risks and ensure the best price offers.
