ComplyOnSiteIs Federal C47 hazardous waste?
Not from this code alone. Federal C47 describes what the waste holds or how it behaves. Federal status depends on the full evidence and on the definitions and exclusions in SOR/2021-25.
For a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. Read the movement rules and exclusions.
What does Federal C47 cover?
Use C47 when the material contains substances of an explosive character (Y15). Match the material, its source and any stated amount, test or use. The name alone doesn't settle it.
