Descripción general
Permit for the import of waste
Fundamento jurídico nacional
Waste Disposal Ordinance (Cap. 354) and its subsidiary regulations

Date of entry into force of this restriction: 1 September 1996

The restriction on regulated e-waste entered into force on 31 December 2018.
Mecanismo administrativo
The restriction is administered through a permit system for the import of waste on an MFN basis in accordance with HKC's obligations under the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, and to ensure environmentally sound management of waste in Hong Kong.

The regulated e-waste import control ensures that any import of regulated e-waste will be controlled. The control will guard against international dumping and prevent regulated e-waste intended for re-export ending up in Hong Kong.

Export licensing procedures can be found in Section 1.
