ComplyOnSiteIs Federal E040 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. E040 is the federal listing for benzoic acid. The waste must match its source, composition, concentration or test condition, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.
On federally regulated international shipments, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. Follow the movement rules and exclusions.

E040 covers benzoic acid. Use it when benzoic acid is present at 100.0 mg/kg or more by mass. The material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition must all match. The name alone isn't enough.
