The Pain of Manual Lookups
Every manual authority lookup slows the shipment before the shipment even starts
2-3 hours per country digging through the Basel Convention website
Outdated contact information buried in PDFs or stale government documents
No programmatic access, which forces manual copy-paste into internal systems
Constant worry about using the wrong email, authority, or phone number
Impossible-to-scale Annex VII and notification workflows when done manually

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Basel API
How accurate is the data?
Basel API records are derived from official Basel Convention sources and cross-checked against government contact references. Critical submissions should still be confirmed directly with the relevant authority before filing.
What countries are currently covered?
The product messaging and on-page references have been updated to 182 countries. This page intentionally replaces earlier 41-country wording.
How quickly can it be integrated?
The API is intentionally lightweight: simple authenticated REST requests, JSON responses, and no heavy SDK requirement.
Who is this for?
Teams handling Basel notifications, trade compliance, authority lookups, circular economy exports, and related workflow automation.
