The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the scrap is not usable as rod, as usable lengths would be classified as bars or rods
• Keep the scrap clean and free of oxidation to maintain its recycling value
• Provide documentation of the original rod production to support the classification
