By charging a fee for import licences, the government:\n- Tracks who is bringing these harmful chemicals into the country\n- Creates a financial incentive to reduce use of ozone-depleting substances  \n- Funds administration of the ozone protection scheme\n\n**Who it affects**\n\nAny company or person importing chemicals covered by the Ozone Protection Act (such as CFCs and halons) must pay this fee as part of their import licence."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/c2004l05708","history":"/api/acts/c2004l05708/history","analysis":"/api/acts/c2004l05708/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/c2004l05708/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/c2004l05708/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/c2004l05708/documents"}}
