Are you involved in importing or exporting refrigerants and other chemicals regulated under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer? If so, it is crucial to remember that you need permission to carry out these activities. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process smoothly:
- Contact the Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) and Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) Management Programme of the Ministry of Environment and National Beautification, Green and Blue Economy (MENB) to request permission for importing or exporting regulated chemicals.
- Once you have obtained the necessary approval from the ODS and HFC Management Programme, proceed to apply for an import or export license from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA).
-
When submitting your application to the DCCA for the license, make sure to upload the proof of permission obtained from the ODS and HFC Management Programme. This can be done through the Customs ASYCUDA World online portal.
