Yes. Many streams under this heading—particularly halogenated solvents (382541), clinical waste (382530), and organic chemical waste (382561)—qualify as hazardous waste under the Basel Convention. While the US has not ratified Basel, EPA regulations under RCRA impose notification, consent, and tracking requirements for transboundary hazardous waste movements, and exporters in Basel-party countries must follow their own national procedures.

Clinical waste is waste generated by medical, nursing, dental, veterinary, or similar practices that poses an infection or contamination risk—such as used sharps, pathological material, or contaminated dressings. Municipal waste is the mixed solid waste collected from households and similar sources. If a shipment contains identifiable clinical material, 382530 applies; general mixed refuse goes to 382510.
