Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.

Duty rate
8%

This is the base rate. A tariff quota, a preference for the country of origin and a tariff exemption lower it; anti-dumping and special duties are paid on top of it

Full description

The passenger part of the attraction, consisting of two connected cars (12 passengers) along the rail track chain thrust vertically rises to a height of 50 meters. On the overpass suspension track with a span of 40 meters, cars make consecutive 360-degree turns, after which they rush to the ground at a speed close to 100 km / h. When the cars reach a certain height, emergency braking is triggered for the second time, after which they again adhere to the chain, rise to a height and make the second turn with a dive. The attraction consists of the following main components: the left tower with a height of 30 m, the right tower with a height of 52 m, cars (consisting of wheel bridges, wheel frames, connecting beams, seats and clamping fixtures), brake system, lifting system, landing platform with an operator's cabin, an anemometer and a lightning receiver.
