Under the Environmental Conservation Law (2012), for example, import licensing measures are in place to implement the Vienna Convention on the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the Montreal Protocol.

Under the Prevention of Hazard from Chemical and Related Substances Law (2013) multiple substances are controlled, including – apart from ODS and precursors – Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) as per the Stockholm Convention, pesticides subject to Prior Informed Consent, and chemical prohibited under the Chemical Weapons Convention.
