Exports and imports of hazardous wastes, including those managed as universal waste and spent lead-acid batteries, are required to follow import and export procedures under 40 CFR Part 262 Subpart H. But shipments going first to an interim facility for temporary holding or consolidation prior to being shipped to a final disposal or recycling facility have special procedures to follow. This 1-hr webinar will walk through the additional information to provide in your notices and the shipment-specific tracking procedures you must follow to comply with 40 CFR Part 262 Subpart H.
