Last updated: August 2026 dataClassified under a single US tariff line (3825100100), municipal waste imports are subject to EPA regulatory oversight and must comply with applicable federal and state hazardous-waste statutes, including the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) framework. Cross-border movement of municipal solid waste is tightly controlled, and importers must coordinate with both customs authorities and environmental regulators before shipment. Classification here requires that the material meet the Chapter 38 note definition of municipal waste — mixed household or commercial refuse not elsewhere classified — rather than a more specific waste stream that would fall under another heading.

Municipal waste covers mixed household and commercial refuse as defined in the Chapter 38 notes. Industrial process residues, clinical waste, or identifiable chemical waste streams each have their own dedicated headings (382530, 382561, etc.) and would not be classified here even if collected municipally.
Imports of municipal solid waste are subject to EPA jurisdiction under RCRA. Importers must verify that the material does not meet the definition of hazardous waste, which would trigger additional permitting and manifest requirements. Coordination with the receiving state's environmental agency is also typically required.
