The short answer
Green-listed waste going to recovery only needs the Annex VII document. Amber-listed and unlisted waste needs a notification with prior consent from every country involved.
How the lists work
The lists in the Waste Shipment Regulation classify waste by risk. The classification depends on the waste code and on whether the stream is clean or mixed.
When in doubt
If a stream could be classified in more than one way, the stricter procedure applies. Check with the authorities before your first shipment.
