Import Tips
• 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
