Is Basel B2060 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel B2060 is on Basel List B, so material that matches it is normally outside the Convention's hazardous definition. That changes if Annex I constituents give it an Annex III hazardous characteristic. SOR/2021-25, including its exclusions, decides Canadian federal control.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste line of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.

What does Basel B2060 cover?

Covers used activated carbon whose Annex I constituents are too low to cause an Annex III characteristic. Examples include carbon from drinking-water treatment, food processing and vitamin manufacture. Compare A4160.
