Waste Classification Audit
You need to know exactly where your material sits before you move it. Misclassification is the single most common cause of shipment seizure under the Basel Convention — and it is entirely avoidable with a proper pre-movement audit.
What you get
- ✓Written classification memo you can attach directly to your notification file
- ✓Annex I, III, VIII, and IX determination for your specific waste stream
- ✓Y-code, H-code, and A/B-list analysis
- ✓Notes on any ambiguous or dual-listed classifications
- ✓Recommended Basel code for use on movement documents
Who this is for
Exporters and recyclers preparing to move e-waste, ULABs, or mixed metal fractions across borders for the first time — or operators who have been using a classification they are no longer confident in. Also used by compliance teams preparing for CA inspections or internal audits.
Why classification matters
Basel Annex VIII lists hazardous wastes subject to full notification and PIC requirements. Annex IX lists wastes that are presumed non-hazardous unless they exhibit Annex III hazard characteristics. The line between them determines whether your shipment requires Prior Informed Consent, full notification documents, or neither.
Getting this wrong at the start means your entire notification package is built on the wrong foundation — and competent authorities will reject the file.
