			The export of a [[Waste Derived Fuel]] i.e. an [[RDF]] or [[SRF]] can only occur if the material is going to a [[Recovery]] facility i.e. an [[Energy Recovery Facility]] as opposed to an [[Incineration]].
			The application and approval process can take from one to three months and the term of such consents ("the TFS") can range from 12 months upwards to typically no more than 3 years. A TFS is unique to the producer and the [[ERF]] or [[Cement Kiln]] off-taker and so exporters (will more often than not) raise multiple TFS applications for more tonnage than they are able to move, and will overlap consents to ensure continuity between TFS approvals. As an example in 2015, just over 26 million tonnes of [[Transfrontier Shipment Regulations\|Transfrontier Shipment]] consent was available for use for [[Waste Derived Fuel]] Export, but only around 3 million tonnes were utilized.

			The number of TFS approvals can give some insight to [[Waste Derived Fuel]] producers to know how much capacity the competition has remaining on their TFS and whether continuity may be at risk, but fundamentally exporters are applying for multiple TFS consents which reduces the insight that this may have given in the early days of [[RDF]] and [[SRF]] export from the UK. It also enables producers to ensure that their waste is being managed in line with their duty of care requirements.

The application and approval process can take from one to three months and the term of such consents ("the TFS") can range from 12 months upwards. A TFS is unique to the producer and the off-taker and so exporters (will more often than not) raise multiple TFS applications for more tonnage than they are able to move, and will overlap consents to ensure continuity between TFS approvals. As an example in 2015, just over 26 million tonnes of [[Transfrontier Shipment Regulations|Transfrontier Shipment]] consent was available for use, but only around 3 million tonnes were utilised.

The TFS approvals allow producers of waste to know how much capacity exporters have remaining on their TFS and whether continuity may be at risk.
