Hazardous and Poisonous Waste Electronic Registration

With a view to streamlining the registration of poisonous and hazardous products or goods, the recently-issued State Minister of Environment Regulation No. 2 of 2010 requires that importers and exporters of any products or materials that create ‘B3 Waste’ - poisonous, hazardous, or environmentally-destructive waste - to electronically register with the State Minister of Environment by way of the online ‘National Single Window’.

For a brief overview of the National Single Window, see: ILB No. 798 12/3/2008.

The online procedures for B3 Waste registration are detailed in Attachment I to the regulation, and can be done manually if needed - the form (which can be used for both online and manual registration) is contained in Attachment II. Supporting information/documents must also be submitted, including: deed of establishment, business license, importer identification number, taxpayer number, and other documents listed in Article 5 of the regulation.

The Deputy State Minister of Environment for B3 Waste Management will issue a B3 Waste Registration Letter no later than five business days after completing the online (or manual) registration.

This Regulation has been in force since 18 January 2010.
