Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the carbon content is below 0.25% and the rectangular cross-section meets the width-to-thickness ratio
• Provide CBSA with the steel's chemical analysis and the specific profile dimensions
• If the blanks are already rolled into rails, they would be classified under heading 7302
