<h1>India Tightens Rules on E-Waste Imports: Ministry Approval Required as per Hazardous Waste Rules, 2008, Schedule III Entries A1180, B1110.</h1> The circular addresses the import of hazardous waste under the Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Transboundary) Rules, 2008. It highlights the issue of e-waste, such as used computers and electronic assemblies, being imported into India, posing environmental risks. The import of such waste is regulated, requiring permission from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, especially for items listed under Schedule III, entries A1180 and B1110. These rules mandate that imports for re-use must have prior consent, and contraventions are treated as illegal, necessitating re-export at the importer's expense. The notice emphasizes strict adherence to these regulations to prevent India from becoming a dumping ground for electronic waste.
