[[Category: Legislation & Policy]]

The ~~Transfrontier Shipment Regulations capture~~ the ~~requirements of European and UK law~~ for ~~shipping~~ waste into or out of the ~~country~~.

The EU Regulation 1013/2006/EC on shipments of waste provides the procedures for moving waste into and out of the UK and European Union. This Regulation implements the provisions of the UN Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal (The Basel Convention) and the [[OECD Decision]].

These Regulations tend to be more commonly referred to within the UK as the Transfrontier Shipment Regulations.

==Overview==

The regulations apply from the point of loading the waste until ~~it has~~ been fully recovered or disposed of at the destination facility and, as such, it demonstrates compliance with the obligations of the [[Duty of Care]] legislation. The controls need to be reviewed in the context of the treatment planned for the waste at the destination, the country of destination ~~and~~ transport route, and the waste type (first defining whether the material is indeed classified as waste).

The regulations apply from the point of loading the waste (in the UK) through its movement and transport until the wastes have been fully recovered or disposed of at the destination facility and, as such, it demonstrates compliance with the obligations of the [[Duty of Care]] legislation. The controls need to be reviewed in the context of the treatment planned for the waste at the destination, the country of destination, transport route, and the waste type (first defining whether the material is indeed classified as waste).

The importing and exporting of waste for [[Recovery]] is possible, whereas it is prohibited for [[Disposal]] except for specific exceptions<ref name="TFS">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/importing-and-exporting-waste</ref>
