Charge-density-waves (CDWs) are macroscopic quantum states defined by periodic modulations in electronic charge density coupled with lattice distortions. Despite significant research efforts, the evolution of electromagnetic transport properties in the presence of CDWs remains largely unexplored. Here, we report the effects of two orthogonal CDWs (CDW1 and CDW2) coexisting at low-temperature in DyTe3 on its electronic transport properties. Importantly, we find that while no clear magnetotransport anomaly is resolved across CDW1 transition under the present experimental conditions, the emergence of CDW2 drives a drastic enhancement in magnetoresistance and a multiband-governed nonlinear Hall response. These results demonstrate that CDW1 and CDW2 in DyTe3 are fundamentally different and impact its electronic transport in qualitatively distinct ways, establishing DyTe3 as a model system for understanding the transport consequences of multiple CDWs in quasi-two-dimensional materials.
