Import Tips
• Document the thallium content and the recovery process to support classification as waste and scrap
• Check if the catalyst scrap is subject to the Export and Import of Hazardous Waste Regulations, which may require a permit before importation
• Confirm that the scrap does not contain other regulated substances that would change its classification
