Basel Y waste stream for any congener of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin, a toxic group from burning & chemical making.

Is Basel Y44 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel Y44 names a waste stream or constituent used in the IWIC. The code describes the material. Its hazards, the other classification parts and the definitions and exclusions in SOR/2021-25 decide federal status in Canada.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.

What does Basel Y44 cover?

It covers every congener of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin. Its movement status in Canada needs a separate assessment under SOR/2021-25, including the destination and the intended operation.
