A notification applies to one waste (stream) and a maximum quantity to be determined and must be submitted to the competent authority prior to the shipment.

A producer or holder of waste is allowed to commission a third party to fulfil its recovery and disposal obligations. It is important that the commissioned third party has the necessary reliability.

A simplified form of transboundary movement of waste applies to ‘green-listed’ waste, which can be shipped across borders without any further time-consuming permits.

Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 on shipments of waste contains, in particular, rules for transboundary shipments of waste.
