UK legislation

The import of waste into the UK is for wastes controlled under a permit system administered by the UK competent authorities. Its requirements are tied in with those of the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, and an OECD decision on transboundary movements of waste for recovery.
