Import Tips
• Test for oil and coolant contamination (max 2% allowable); provide lab certificates to prevent hazardous waste classification
• Use ISRI specifications for bundle density (75-120 lbs/cu ft) to ensure proper No. 1 classification
• Declare exact origin and processing history; misdeclaration as new steel risks anti-dumping duties
