Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E169 is the listing for xylenes. The source, composition, concentration or test result must match, 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. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.

E169 covers xylenes at 100.0 mg/kg or more by mass. The material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition must match too. The name alone doesn't make it E169.
