It describes conditions under which the export can be permitted. There are stringent requirements for notice, consent and tracking for movement of wastes across national boundaries. The Convention places a general prohibition on the exportation or importation of wastes between Parties and non-Parties. The exception to this rule is where the waste is subject to another treaty that does not take away from the Basel Convention. The United States is a notable non-Party to the Convention and has a number of such agreements for allowing the shipping of hazardous wastes to Basel Party countries.

For its handling and management you may refer www.ramky.com (a Hyderabad based organization; they are operating more than 20 TSDF in India). For transportation; the above rule defined that you can not (EXPORT/IMPORT) travel/logisticate the HW from a state to state. But in USEPA it is permitted to transport/logisticate the HW under continental countries. I feel you will satisfy to feel the above information for any doubt you may contact on aloksingh84@gmail.com.

Thanks
