ComplyOnSiteIs Federal HAZ4 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal HAZ4 is the federal listing for cyanide at 100 mg/kg or more. The source, make-up, concentration or test result must match the listing, 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. Also apply the movement rules and exclusions.
