Commissioners of Customs;
Subject:- Import of Compressors without ODS and without refrigerant gas.
A
number of representations have been received from various quarters seeking
clarification regarding importability of Compressors filled with non-Ozone
Depleting Substances.
2. The
matter has been examined by the Ministry of Environment & Forests who have
clarified that “as per rule 12 of the
Ozone Depleting Substances (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, importers of
Compressors have to be registered with the competent authority for import of
Compressors using Ozone Depleting Substances. Registration requirement will not
be applicable for importing Compressors using non-Ozone Depleting Substances, or Compressors which do not contain any
refrigerant gas”. Based on this clarification, Customs may allow
import of Compressors filled with non-ODS substances.
3. This issues
with the approval of DGFT.
