Use B4030 only when its complete Basel List B codes description applies.
Is Basel B4030 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Basel B4030 is on Basel List B, so material matching it is normally not hazardous under the Convention. It becomes hazardous if Annex I constituents give it an Annex III hazardous characteristic. SOR/2021-25 and its exclusions decide Canadian federal control.
On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.
What does Basel B4030 cover?
Covers used single-use cameras when their batteries are outside List A. List B treatment holds only while the waste has no Annex III hazardous characteristic.
