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.
