This Order (issued 12 October 1990), issued under authority of the Chemical Substances Act (CIS 88-373), prohibits the import of products containing cadmium into the Netherlands. It is also prohibited to make cadmium available to another party or to store cadmium as commercial stock. The prohibition does not apply to products in which cadmium is used for reasons of safety nor to certain other listed products.
