Forensic Analysis

DZ requiredSubstance: HIGHAI-derived

Under MD 229 of 2025, materials recovery is categorized under 'Manufacturing or processing of goods or materials'. Forensic focus is on the 'transformation' threshold; simple sorting, cleaning, or packaging does not constitute processing and will be re-characterized as trading, potentially disqualifying the QFZP status.
