New obligations to fill out SENT notifications of transport of, among others, paints, varnishes, solvents and glues, came into force on 12 January 2024. 
 
The SENT system now covers transport – which begins in Poland – of 11 new types of waste if the gross weight of a consignment equals or exceeds 1,000 kg or the volume equals or exceeds 1,000 litres. 
 
Goods that have to be reported to SENT are listed in an appendix to the Climate Minister's regulation of 2 January 2020 on the catalogue of waste (Journal of Laws, item 10). They carry the following codes:
 
  • 08 01 11 - waste paint and varnish containing organic solvents or other hazardous substances,
  • 08 01 13 - sludges from paint or varnish containing organic solvents or other hazardous substances,
  • 08 01 15 - aqueous sludges containing paint or varnish containing organic solvents or other hazardous substances,
  • 08 01 17 - wastes from paint or varnish removal containing organic solvents or other hazardous substances,
  • 08 01 19 - aqueous suspensions containing paint or varnish containing organic solvents or other hazardous substances,
  • 08 01 21 - waste paint or varnish remover,
  • 08 03 12 - waste ink containing hazardous substances,
  • 08 03 14 - ink sludges containing hazardous substances,
  • 08 04 09 - waste adhesives and sealants containing organic solvents or other hazardous substances,
  • 08 04 13 - aqueous sludges containing adhesives or sealants containing organic solvents or other hazardous substances,
  • 08 04 15 - aqueous liquid waste containing adhesives or sealants containing organic solvents or other hazardous substances.
 
Do you transport the goods listed in the regulation in the course of your business? Remember that failure to report a shipment to the SENT system may trigger fines for non-compliance.
