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.

Federal C21 covers inorganic cyanides (Y33). Use it when the material contains inorganic cyanides (Y33). Match the material, its source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition. The name alone doesn't settle it.
