In Brief

  1. This memorandum has been updated to reflect requirements under the Ozone-depleting Substances and Halocarbon Alternatives Regulations, including the amendment that came into force on April 16, 2018. Main revisions to this memorandum include:
    • a) the introduction of an allowance system for hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs); 
    • b) the introduction of a prohibition on the import and manufacture of certain products containing or designed to contain HFCs; and
    • c) minor modifications on hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs).
  2. The Ozone-depleting substances and Halocarbon Alternatives Regulations implement Canada’s obligations under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Montreal Protocol). The Montreal Protocol is an international agreement to control the production and consumption of certain ozone-depleting substances (ODS) as well as HFCs, which are halocarbon alternatives (HA), under the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. The Montreal Protocol benefits from universal ratification. The Regulations are intended to phase out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances and to phase down HFCs, which allows Canada to meet its obligations under the Montreal Protocol and reduce the threats to human health and environment from the impact of ozone-depleting substances and of HFCs which have global warming potential.
  3. Under the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, which Canada ratified and which comes into force on January 1, 2019, Canada must gradually reduce its HFC consumption in accordance with a specific schedule.
  4. This memorandum provides guidelines concerning the importation and exportation of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) and HFCs, and certain products containing or designed to contain ODS or HFCs. It relates directly to the supportive role the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) plays in assisting Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) in administering the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 and the Ozone-depleting substances and Halocarbon Alternatives Regulations (SOR/2016-137).
  5. This memorandum does not amend or supersede the relevant legislation and/or regulations. In case of any inconsistencies between this memorandum and the legislative or regulatory provisions, the legislation or regulations will prevail.

31. The CBSA 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 - Appendix D displays samples of required documents) prior to releasing the goods and will also ensure that:

32. Further information concerning the release of commercial goods can be found in the Memorandum D17-1-4, Release of Commercial Goods. Please refer to the Reporting of Exported Goods Regulations for specific time frames for reporting at the CBSA export reporting offices.

33. If a border services officer suspects that a shipment is in violation of the Ozone-depleting Substances and Halocarbon Alternatives Regulations, the shipment will be detained and the nearest ECCC regional office should be contacted immediately.

34. Upon recommendation of an ECCC enforcement officer, the CBSA may refuse entry into Canada or may refuse export from Canada of a shipment suspected of non-compliance with CEPA.

Responsibilities of Environment and Climate Change Canada

35. ECCC authorizes importers and exporters to import or export ODS and HFCs and products containing or designed to contain these substances by issuing a permit to import or a permit to export and/or by issuing an allowance (for HCFCs and new bulk HFCs only) or a transfer of allowance. Examples of such written authorizations can be found in Appendix D.

36. Any questions with reference to permits or allowances should be referred to the Chemical Production Division of ECCC (by e-mail at ec.gestionhalocarbures-halocarbonsmanagement.ec@canada.ca or by phone at 819-938-4228).

Implementation of the CBSA Single Window Initiative (SWI)

37. On March 29, 2015, the CBSA SWI launched a new release service option, Integrated Import Declaration (IID service option 911) that allows importers and customs brokers (must be registered with the CBSA) to submit and obtain electronic release for regulated goods.

38. Since March 2017, importers of ODS, Halocarbon Alternatives and HFCs and products containing them have an option to submit release requests to the CBSA electronically by using an IID.

39. Data elements (optional, conditional, and mandatory) to be included in the IID can be found in the Appendix B3.2 of the SWI IID Electronic Commerce Client Requirements Document (ECCRD).

40. ECCC will receive the IID information at the time of release each shipment.

41. For more information about the SWI, please refer to the CBSA website – Single Window Initiative. The SWI IID ECCRD provides technical and system requirements information.

Emergency Situations

42. The CBSA will take reasonable measures to ensure that potentially dangerous situations, resulting from the presence of controlled ODS or halocarbon alternatives at CBSA premises (e.g., a leakage or spill), do not pose a hazard to CBSA employees or to the public. The CBSA can obtain information on dealing with emergencies involving ODS or HFC by contacting the Canadian Transport Emergency Centre (CANUTEC), a national advisory service provided by Transport Canada to assist in handling dangerous goods emergencies, at 1-888-CAN-UTEC (226-8832) or (613) 996-6666.

43. Incidents involving leaks or spills of ODSs or HFCs should be dealt with in accordance to the emergency response plan in place at the CBSA office affected.

44. Emergencies involving ODS or HFC should also be reported to the appropriate emergency response agency and to the appropriate regional office of ECCC's Environmental Enforcement Directorate.
