Import Tips
• Obtain scrap export licenses from origin country and verify ISRI No. 1 bundle specs (max 5 ft x 2 ft x 1/4 in thick) to avoid reclassification
• Provide radiation scan certificates and detailed chemical composition analysis to comply with U.S. steel scrap import regulations
• Ensure bundles are free of non-ferrous contamination; common pitfalls include mixed alloys leading to CBP penalties
