Import Tips & Compliance

Provide mill test certificates verifying alloy steel composition to confirm classification under 7204, not stainless steel (72.03)

Ensure scrap is free of hazardous contaminants like oil or radioactive materials per EPA import regulations

Declare exact weight and alloy type on entry documents; misdeclaration as carbon steel scrap leads to reclassification
