1. This Circular guides the order and procedures for the grant of import licenses and the certification of registration for the import, export and temporary import for re-export of ozone layer-depleting substances listed in the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (hereinafter called the Protocol for short), applicable to all enterprises conducting one of the above-said activities in Vietnam’s territory.

2. Ozone layer-depleting substances to be managed under this Circular are substances listed in Appendix 1 to this Circular (substances listed in Annex A and Annex B of the Protocol, for which Vietnam must grant import licenses and allocate import quotas till 2010 under its phasing-out obligation) and substances listed in Appendix 2 of this Circular (substances listed in Annex C of the Protocol, for which Vietnam temporarily does not have to grant import licenses till 2015).

3. The management of the import, export and temporary import for re-export of ozone layer-depleting substances shall be carried out on the following principles:

a/ Enterprises that import, export or temporarily import for re-export ozone layer-depleting substances must make registration with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and obtain the Ministry’s certification thereof;

b/ The import of substances listed in Appendix 1 shall be carried out under import licenses granted by the Ministry of Trade;

c/ Procedures for the import of substances listed in Appendix 1, which are in re-cycled form, and substances listed in Appendix 2, for the export and temporary import for re-export of substances listed in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 shall be carried out at the customs offices on the basis of enterprises’ written registrations certified by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.

II. QUOTAS FOR THE IMPORT OF SUBSTANCES LISTED IN APPENDIX 1
