New HS 2028 Codes Target Plastic Waste Trade for Environmental Compliance
The HS 2028 customs coding system has been updated to include specific subheadings for plastic waste. This enhancement allows for more accurate identification and tracking of transboundary movements of hazardous plastic waste. This update assists customs authorities and businesses in effectively implementing the Basel Convention, contributing to global efforts to address the growing plastic pollution crisis. The new subheadings provide a more granular level of detail, enabling better monitoring and control of plastic waste shipments and supporting international cooperation in environmental protection.
