Policy Circular No. 47
(RE-2005)/2004-09
Dated, the
8th
February, 2006
Subject :
Import of products containing HCFC – 22 (R-22)
gases.
The import of products containing HCFC – 22 (R-22) gas is free under the ITC (HS) Classification of Export and
Import Items. However, the ODS
Rules, 2000 stipulate that a license is required for such
imports.
It has been decided that until such time this anomaly is sorted out,
licenses for import of products containing HCFC – 22 gas will be issued by the
Directorate General of Foreign Trade in cases where clearances
have been given by the Ministry of Environment and
The industry is, therefore, advised to file their application for import
licenses for products containing HCFC – 22 gas. These applications will be considered
for issuance of licenses based on the advise of the
Ministry of Environment and
This issues with the approval of
DGFT.
