However, a person may import into Canada contaminated fuel for destruction, disposal or recycling in accordance with applicable federal or provincial law regarding the destruction, disposal or recycling of hazardous wastes. A person may also export contaminated fuel to a country if the appropriate authority in that country authorizes or permits the importation.
