Importing Used Class I Substances

To import more than five pounds of a used Class I ODS into the United States, importers are required to submit a petition and receive a non-objection notice. A specific form for petitioners to submit information to EPA does not exist; rather, informational components that are required to be included in the petition are identified at 40 CFR 82.13(g)(2). Note that importers must submit petitions to EPA at least 40 working days before the shipment is to leave the foreign port of export. Petitions should be submitted to EPA at the address listed below. For questions, please contact Jennifer Bohman at 202-343-9548.
