Some waste can be exported under a lower level of control, and only an Annex VII form needs to accompany the waste on transfer.
For other ‘notifiable’ waste exports – you will need consent from the competent authorities in the country of dispatch and the country of destination before moving the waste. You can submit applications through an online system called IWS online.
Read the guidance or email the competent authority of dispatch for more information:
England: Waste import and export, askshipments@environment-agency.gov.uk
Scotland: Transfrontier shipment of waste, transfrontier@sepa.org.uk
