Commercial transport of waste Permit
Anyone wishing to transport hazardous waste commercially requires a permit (transport permit). The permit is granted upon application by the competent authority and may be subject to conditions and obligations.
The permit requirement on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany also applies to the transboundary shipment of waste. A notification procedure does not replace a transport permit.
For waste that is not classified as hazardous, a notification of commercial transport is required.
