The import, export and manufacture of the ozone depleting substances is prohibited under the Montreal Protocol, except where an essential or critical use exemption has been granted by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol. Kazakhstan's Montreal Protocol obligations are implemented through a system of licensing.

Purposes and coverage of licensing

2. The requirements of the licensing systems are:

-_ import or export of ozone depleting substances;

-_ pre-charged equipment containing ozone-depleting substances.

Strict conditions and reporting requirements apply in relation to all licences issued.
