Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify scrap meets exact No. 2 heavy melting specifications (size 1/4-18 inches) with lab certification to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test reports and radiation-free declarations; common pitfall is contamination leading to customs holds
• Use ISRI scrap specifications in contracts; check for rust/discoloration allowances per Chapter 72 notes
