- Import restrictions for metallic mercury from non-Parties to the Convention;
- Export ban for certain products containing mercury; Mercury use in new products and processes;
- Restrictions on certain processes where mercury is used;
- Mercury use in Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM);
- Environmentally sound storage of non-waste mercury stocks.
