First, it is necessary to clarify how the waste is to be classified, under which provision the waste can be shipped, and for what reason the waste is shipped across borders. This is important because the <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/PDF\/?uri=CELEX:32006R1013&amp;qid=1689061738359\"><strong>Regulation (EC) No 1013\/2006<\/strong><\/a> of the European Parliament and of the council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste generally prohibits the shipment of waste for disposal outside the EU. In general, shipments of waste can be regulated by <strong>notification and consent procedures<\/strong> (Art. 4 to 17 EC-Waste Shipment Regulation), <strong>general information requirements<\/strong> (Art. 18 EC-Waste Shipment Regulation) or <strong>prohibitions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Shipments of waste for <strong>disposal<\/strong> to EU countries are usually subject to a notification procedure. Shipments of waste to EFTA countries, that are also parties to the Basel Convention (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland) are permitted if the country of destination does not prohibit them and the licensing authority in the country of dispatch has no doubts about the environmentally sound treatment. A notification procedure (cf. Art. 4 of EC-Waste Shipment Regulation) must be carried out in any case.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to the EC-Waste Shipment Regulation, the classification of waste is important for shipments of waste for <strong>recovery<\/strong> (<strong>\u2018green\u2019 listed waste<\/strong> vs. <strong>\u2018amber\u2019 listed waste<\/strong>). Non-hazardous waste can usually be shipped without a special permit if the country of destination is an EU or OECD country. Under <strong>Article 18<\/strong>, i.e. the Annex VII document, waste can be shipped without further authorisation. If \u2018green\u2019 listed waste is shipped to non-OECD countries, a notification procedure must be expected. Hazardous waste is classified as \u2018amber\u2019 listed and always requires a notification procedure, whether it is shipped to EU or OECD countries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img
