Compliant route available for used toner cartridge trade with Slovakia

in Slovakia

Trade barrier summary

A compliant route is now available for shipments of eligible used toner cartridges between the UK and Slovakia. Authorities confirmed that end-of-waste criteria can be applied following appropriate sorting and inspection processes. This means eligible used toner cartridges can be treated as products rather than waste when the requirements are met.

As a result, UK businesses can:
- move eligible reused toner cartridges between the UK and Slovakia through a compliant route
- avoid prior informed consent (PIC) procedures where end-of-waste requirements are met
- continue with reuse and remanufacturing business models across both markets
