U.S. Law allows export of medical waste says Pitts
RECIFE, Pernambuco – U.S. law allows the exportation of used material—including material used in hospitals, according to the United States Consul, Usha Pitts, on Thursday afternoon speaking at the consulate in the Northeastern Brazilian city of Recife. The consul met with the FBI attache, Richard Cavalieri, at the consulate to discuss the seizure of medical waste shipped from Charleston, SC to the Port of Suape in Pernambuco.
