Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Amendment Regulation 2014

Automatic licences: The Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Amendment Regulation 2014 (No. 154, 2014) introduces a limited import licence exemption for low volume importers. A low volume importer is an importer who imports less than 5 pieces of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, with less than 10kg total charge over a two year period. A typical low volume importer is an individual who is importing a single yacht or car for personal use although any refrigeration and air conditioning equipment that is under the threshold is exempted from the Act. Importers who are eligible for this licence exemption are able to self-assess through the Ozone Licensing and Reporting Scheme.
Non-automatic licences: Importers of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment who are over this threshold continue to require an import licence under the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act 1989.
