Hazardous waste import/export controls require permissions and prior informed consent for regulated transboundary shipments. Imports of hazardous and other wastes are barred for disposal and permitted only for recycling, recovery, re use, utilisation or co processing; Schedule VI wastes are banned. Part A imports require prior informed consent of the exporting country and MoEFCC permission; Part B imports require MoEFCC permission for actual users; Part D imports require submission of Form 6 and Schedule VIII documents to Customs. MoEFCC reviews Form 5 applications with SPCB comments and may permit imports subject to environmental facilities, treatment arrangements and valid SPCB consents. Port and Customs verify documentation, enforce compliance, and consignments must carry Form 6.
