2.what taxes tarrifs do they impose on imported goods from asia?

Hi Savva

I would recommend you contact one of the Accountancy Firms; they will be able to answer these questions - and some you have not thought of asking!

You could try Price Waterhouse Coopers

There is an excellent document at:

www.pwc/cy/eng/ind-sol/publ/pdf/pwc_TFF_05_eng.pdf

which should be a great starting point.

Thanks
