    New export and import rules for products containing F-gases and ozone-depleting substances

    In 2024, Europe introduced two new regulations governing the import and export of products containing gases with a high global warming potential:
    • Regulation (EU) 2024/590: concerns substances that deplete the ozone layer.
    • Regulation (EU) 2024/573: regulates fluorinated greenhouse gases.
    You’d be surprised at how many products these regulations apply to. They cover industrial goods used in sectors such as shipping, as well as numerous consumer items, machinery, including heat pumps, vehicles, and more.
    What does this mean for our customers? 
    To ensure the correct processing of your orders, please provide us with the appropriate codes.
