Petryakov, S.V. Legal regulation of the Russian – Scandinavian trade in the last quarter of the XIX century

Abstract: The last quarter of the XIX century became a stage of a new quality in the history of the Russian – Scandinavian trade. The basis for the mutually profitable trade and economic relations between Russia and the Northern European states was formed by bilateral trade treaties, which were based on the provisions of European law on foreign trade. At the same time in practice the Russian government often passed legislative acts “on an occasion” based on the market conjuncture and protectionist approaches. The legal regulation of the foreign trade of Finland, which had considerable autonomy in the Russian Empire, had some specific features. By the end of the century the customs and tariff legislation of the Russian Federation mostly abolished the artificial barriers for the movement of goods, and made the foreign trade operations with Scandinavia easier.
