Import of Compressors without ODS and without refrigerant gas.
Import of Compressors without ODS and without refrigerant gas.
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.
