The ozone-depleting substances - CFCs, halons, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform, HBFC, bromochloromethane, methyl bromide and HCFC - can only be exported from New Zealand if:

• the destination country is a country that is a party to the Montreal Protocol

You may also need to apply for a permit or authorisation from the country you will be importing to.

To apply for an export permit, download and complete the OLPA Export Application form below, and email it to ozone@epa.govt.nz.
