Use A3090 for chromium(VI)- or biocide-bearing leather residue as a presumptively hazardous Basel waste.
Is Basel A3090 hazardous waste?
Normally yes. A3090 is on Basel List A, so the material is presumed hazardous unless the evidence shows it has no Annex III hazardous characteristic. The exact description and any stated exclusions still have to match.
For international shipments under the federal rules, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.
What does Basel A3090 cover?
Covers leather dust, ash, sludge or flour containing hexavalent chromium compounds or biocides. Compare B3100.
