Import Tips
• Include density certification showing compliance with No. 2 bundle weight/density specs to differentiate from heavier grades
• Document origin and processing history to prove not further worked beyond bundling, per Chapter 72 notes
• Prepare for CBP scrap metal verification; common pitfall is excessive non-ferrous contamination leading to duties adjustment
