Waste shipment
The import, export and transit of waste to, from or through EU member states generally requires authorization. Exempted are wastes on the “Green List of Waste” for recovery within the meaning of Article 18 of the EU Waste Shipment Regulation (Regulation (EC) No. 1013/2006).
As of 21 May 2026, Regulation (EU) 1157/2024 will fully replace the currently (still) applicable EU Waste Shipment Regulation 1013/2006.
Due to the changes introduced by the new Waste Shipment Regulation (EU) 1157/2024, it should be noted that updated templates, forms and documents will be made available from spring 2026 onwards.
