Where does Federal disposal D9 go on the federal notification?

In the waste classification details. Federal disposal D9 is a field value describing a waste or recyclable line on the federal notification. It records the disposal operation and doesn't decide whether the material is hazardous.

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.
