Follow this step-by-step operator walkthrough to go from zero to compliant Basel shipment.

Step 1 — Understand Your Obligations

Use the Basel CA API to find the correct competent authority contact for your export and import countries. Every Basel notification requires this.

Step 3 — Build Your Notification Document

Open the Basel Navigator. Fill in your shipment details and generate your vCOP8 notification form and movement document. Download as PDF.

Step 4 — Verify Shipment Readiness

Run through the Basel Checklist before your shipment moves. Confirm all documents, approvals, and carrier requirements are in place.
