In Brief

  1. Memorandum D19-7-2 has been updated and replaces the previous Memorandum D19-7-2, dated February 10, 2010.
  2. Main revisions to this memorandum include additional information on controlling HCFCs, specifically HCFC-22, HCFC-141b and HCFC-142b, and reflect organizational changes within Environment Canada and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Appendices C and D have also been updated to reflect the actual list of countries that are a Party to the Montreal Protocol and the list of developing countries for the export of controlled products that contain or are designed to contain an ozone-depleting substance. Memorandum D19-7-2 reflects amendments to the Ozone-depleting Substances Regulations, 1998, and outlines procedures for the importation and exportation of ozone-depleting substances.
  3. 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 196 countries to control the production and consumption of certain ozone-depleting substances. The Regulations are intended to further reduce emissions of ozone-depleting substances by controlling the import and export of ozone-depleting substances, products containing ozone-depleting substances and products designed to contain ozone-depleting substances.

Requirements Concerning the Importation and Exportation of Ozone-depleting Substances and Products

This memorandum provides guidelines concerning the importation and exportation of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), products containing ODS and products designed to contain ODS. It relates directly to the supportive role the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) plays in assisting Environment Canada in administering the Canadian Environment Protection Act, 1999 and the Ozone-depleting Substances Regulations, 1998 (SOR/99-7, as amended, SOR/2000-102, SOR/2001-2, SOR/2002-100, SOR/2004-315 and SOR/2007-129).

  • (b) while in transit, the controlled substance is not stored other than in the normal course of transport, re­packaged, sorted or otherwise changed in condition or sold.

Controlled Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS) and Products That Contain or are Designed to Contain ODS

2. Generally, the importation and exportation of ODS is prohibited except in controlled and exempted cases.

Importation

Controlled:

3. Importation is permitted only on the condition that a valid permit or a valid allowance (please refer to Appendix G to see a sample of a permit or allowance) from Environment Canada is presented to the CBSA where the goods are being released. Please refer to the Appendix A for the list of controlled ODS and to Appendix B for the list of common/trade names of ODS. The following importations are controlled (written authorization required):

  • (a) ODS that are to be used for a purpose set out in Schedule 3 [refer to ODSR 1998, schedule 3 for the list of the approved purposes].
    • (i) In the case of a CFC or a product containing CFCs, it must be supplied in a container of 3L or less and be used for an essential use that is a laboratory or analytical use [ODSR 1998, subsection 20(5)].
  • (b) Recovered, recycled, reclaimed, used (RRRU) ODS or for destruction [ODSR 1998, Subsection 5(1)].
  • (c) HCFCs can be imported with an allowance or a transfer of allowance. HCFC-22, HCFC-141b and HCFC-142b can only be imported under an allowance if they are intended to be exported or to be used as a refrigerant.
Exempted (written authorization is not required):

4. Importation of following ODS and products containing ODS is exempted:

  • (a) Non-commercial importation of CFC, bromofluorocarbon, bromochlorodifluoromethane, tetrachloromethane or 1,1,1-trichloroethane or products containing these ODS for the personal use and consumption of the importer and transported in a consignment of personal or household effects;
  • (b) Aircraft, ships or any vehicle manufactured before January 1, 1999 and that contain or are designed to contain any CFC, bromofluorocarbon, bromochlorodifluoromethane, tetrachloromethane or 1,1,1-trichloroethane;
  • (c) Fire extinguisher containing or designed to contain any bromofluorocarbon or bromochlorodifluoromethane to be used in aircraft or military ships or military vehicles, if the equipment is imported from a Party;
  • (d) Products containing or designed to contain HCFCs other than HCFC-22, HCFC-141b and HCFC-142b: e.g., air-conditioning system, refrigerator, chiller, vending machine are exempted. [because they are not included in the ODSR 1998, Section 22 prohibition and products that contain or are designed to contain HCFC-22, HCFC-141b and HCFC-142b are controlled under Section 28.]
  • (e) A product containing HCFCs in a pressurized container that is:
    • (i) a mold release agent used in the production of plastic and elastomeric materials;
    • (ii) a spinnerette lubricant or cleaning spray used in the production of synthetic fibers;
    • (iii) a document preservation spray;
    • (iv) fire extinguishing equipment used for non-residential applications;
    • (v) a wasp and hornet spray;
    • (vi) a rigid foam product;
    • (vii) Refrigerant R-412A; or
    • (viii) Refrigerant R-509A.
  • (f) A product containing HCFC that is used as an animal or human health care product, including any bronchial dilator, inhalable steroid, topical anesthetic and veterinary powder wound spray;
  • (g) A rigid foam product in which any HCFC has been used as a foaming agent.

Exportation

5. Under the ODSR 1998, there are a lot less restrictions on the exportation of ozone-depleting substances as compared to the importation. The country receiving a shipment of ozone-depleting substances can prescribe its own restrictions through its domestic legislation, as Canada does under the ODSR 1998.

6. As a consequence, products that contain or are designed to contain ODS are not controlled in Canada except those subject to Section 21 of the ODSR 1998.

7. Please find below the controlled exportations and the exempted exportations under the ODSR 1998.

Controlled:

8. Exportation is permitted only on the condition that a valid permit from Environment Canada is presented to the CBSA. The exportation of following ODS and products containing ODS is controlled:

  • (a) Recovered, recycled, reclaimed, used (RRRU) ODS or for destruction [ODSR 1998, Subsection 6(1)];
  • (b) ODS exported for a purpose set out in Schedule 3 that was previously imported or manufactured for a purpose set out in Schedule 3 [ODSR 1998, paragraph 7(2)(d)];
  • (c) ODS exported because it was imported by mistake or without consenting to its importation [ODSR 1998, paragraph 7(2)(e)];
  • (d) Product that contains or is designed to contain any CFCs, bromofluorocarbons, bromochlorodifluoromethane, tetrachloromethane or 1,1,1-trichloroethane exported to Article 5 countries (developing countries) of the Protocol; ODSR 1998, Section 21. Please refer to Appendix D for the List of Parties categorized as operating under Article 5 paragraph 1 (developing countries) of the Montreal Protocol.
Exempted:

9. Written authorization is not required; the exportation of following ODS and products containing ODS is exempted:

  • (a) ODS that are a heel [ODSR 1998, Subsection 6(2)];
  • (b) ODS that are sold in Canada to a foreign ship for the refilling or servicing of its refrigeration, air-conditioning or fire extinguishing equipment, in a quantity that does not exceed the total capacity of the equipment [ODSR 1998, subsection 6(3)];
  • (c) Any products that contain or are designed to contain any ODS other than those specified in Section 21.

Maintenance of Records

10. Every importer and exporter of controlled substances is required to keep records and to report to the Minister of the Environment as specified in the Ozone-depleting Substances Regulations, 1998. The Canada Border Services Agency does not maintain these records. Memorandum D17-1-21 outlines the maintenance of records and books in Canada by importers.

Responsibilities of Canada Border Services Agency

11. For all shipments of controlled ODS and products containing ODS that are imported, exported or that transit through Canada, the importer, customs broker or carrier must present the CBSA office with one of the required documents such as: a copy of the permit or Minister's written confirmation of their consumption allowance or an acknowledgement of their notice of shipment in transit.

12. Shipments containing regulated ODS imported, exported or in transit through Canada will not be allowed to proceed until the required document is presented to the CBSA office. For all in-transit movements of the ODS, documentation will be verified by border services officers when the shipments of ODS enter Canada.

13. If prescribed documentation has not been presented to the CBSA with the release request, a penalty may be issued by the CBSA for not providing required permit or information before the goods are released. More information concerning Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS) can be found on the CBSA Web site at www.cbsa.gc.ca under the Facilitating Trade section, or by consulting the Memorandum D22-1-1, Administrative Monetary Penalty System.

14. You may access the directory of CBSA offices across Canada at the CBSA Web site at www.cbsa.gc.ca. Further information concerning the release of commercial goods can be found in the Memorandum D17-1-4, Release of Commercial Goods posted on the CBSA Web site under Publications and Forms. Please refer to the Reporting of Exported Goods Regulations for specific time frames for reporting at the CBSA export reporting offices.

15. The Canada Border Services Agency will request the prescribed document (a copy of the permit or written confirmation of the consumption allowance or an acknowledgement of the notice of shipment in transit) prior to releasing the goods and will also ensure that:

  • (a) the document is addressed to a company;
  • (b) the document is signed by the Director, Chemical Production Division, on behalf of the Minister of the Environment;
  • (c) an effective date is shown on the document;
  • (d) the document is granted for the specific ozone-depleting substances being imported; and
  • (e) the shipment arrives within the effective date indicated in the document.

16. Appendix G displays samples required documents.

17. If a border services officer suspects that a shipment is in violation of the Ozone-depleting Substances Regulations, 1998, the shipment will be detained and the nearest Environment Canada regional office (outlined in Appendix F) should be contacted immediately. An Environment Canada enforcement officer will verbally advise a border services officer of the appropriate action to take and will follow-up as soon as reasonably possible with written confirmation.

Sharing of information

18. Where an Environment Canada enforcement officer, at the time of the inspection deems it necessary to obtain copies of other related documents relevant to the shipment in order to verify compliance with the Ozone-depleting Substances Regulations, 1998, the CBSA, upon review of each request, may authorize, under section 107 of the Customs Act, the disclosure of requested information to Environment Canada.

Responsibilities of Environment Canada

19. Environment Canada authorizes importers and exporters to import or export ODS and products containing ODS by issuing a permit to import or permit to export and/or by issuing an allowance (for HCFCs only).

20. Any questions with reference to permits or allowances should be referred to the nearest Environment Canada regional office or to the Chemical Production Division of Environment Canada indicated in Appendix F of this memorandum.

21. Should a CBSA officer suspect a violation of the Ozone-depleting Substances Regulations, 1998, the shipment is to be detained and the nearest Environment Canada regional or district office (outlined in Appendix F) contacted immediately. An Environment Canada enforcement officer will advise border services officers of the appropriate action to be taken, with any verbal instructions being followed immediately by a written confirmation.

22. Environment Canada will advise the CBSA office of the action to be taken on detained shipments within two hours of being notified of a specific detention. If an Environment Canada enforcement officer fails to advise the CBSA office of the appropriate action to be taken, the matter should be referred to the CBSA, Other Government Department Programs Unit of the Commercial Border Programs Division, in Ottawa at 613-946-0240.

23. Where an Environment Canada enforcement officer authorizes release of a detained shipment by telephone, border services officers will record the name, title and telephone number of this enforcement officer on the CBSA office copy of the release package/accounting document or cargo report and will request written confirmation by mail or fax from Environment Canada.

24. When detention of a suspect shipment beyond the two-hour time limit is deemed necessary by the Environment Canada enforcement officer, the enforcement officer will take the necessary action, so that the detained shipment will be removed from CBSA's premises as soon as possible within 24 hours, or such other period of time as agreed to by the CBSA and the enforcement officer.

25. The Environment Canada enforcement officer will be responsible for advising the CBSA office and the importer/owner or their customs broker as to the further disposition of the shipment.

26. Environment Canada will be responsible for the disposal of shipments detained by the Canada Border Services Agency on its behalf.
