Normally yes. A3180 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 A3180 cover?

Covers material holding 50 mg/kg or more of PCBs, PCTs, PCNs, PBBs or other polybrominated analogues, whether as the substance itself or as contamination.
