Revised: D19-7-2 Requirements Concerning the Importation & Exportation of Ozone-Depleting Substances & Products

(CBSA)

Memorandum D19-7-2 has been updated and replaces the previous Memorandum D19-7-2, dated April 16, 1997. Memorandum D19-7-2 reflects the Ozone-depleting Substances Regulations, 1998. In addition, Appendices F and G have been added to this memorandum.

This memorandum outlines procedures for the importation and exportation of ozone-depleting substances.

The Ozone-depleting Substances Regulations, 1998 reflect Canada’s commitment to meet its requirements under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Montreal Protocol). The Montreal Protocol is an international agreement signed by 194 countries to control the production and exchange of certain ozone-depleting substances. The Regulations are intended to further reduce emissions of ozone-depleting substances.
