Import Tips

• Obtain a certificate of analysis verifying ferrous composition and absence of hazardous contaminants like radioactive materials to comply with CBP and EPA regulations

• Ensure scrap is free from excessive non-metallics (>1%) and properly bundled to avoid reclassification as unprepared scrap

• Document origin and processing history to prevent penalties for misdeclared waste under Basel Convention restrictions
