In order to monitor and regulate pollution and other outstanding environmental issues, the DOE utilizes a licensing system to collect data on solid waste management and liquid waste management to improve on environmental planning in Belize. Apart from its regulatory functions of administering the Environmental Protection Act, its Amendments and Substantive Regulations, the DOE is responsible for the issuance of import and export permits and licenses. These licenses and permits include: License to Import Lead-Acid Batteries, Used Tires, ODS/halogenated gases, refrigeration/ air conditioning equipment and License to Export Scrap Metal and petroleum products.
Additionally, the DOE collects a $300.00 processing fee for the issuance of an annual effluent licence for industries that discharge wastewater or effluent.
Note: Payment for licenses can be made to the Government Treasury or Sub-Treasury in your district to account number: 23328/11718/120/15. All import applications must be accompanied by a Customs invoice.
