In regard to that, though, The New York Times piece on March 12 of this year literally says:
If the United States were to ratify the Basel agreement—which would require Congress to pass legislation—traders found to be shipping plastic waste overseas could be prosecuted. But short of that, the United States government is limited in its ability to stop plastic waste exports.
Even if there were traceability, there are no provisions under U.S. law that would allow them to enforce that mechanism. How can you say it's equivalent?
