Import Tips
• Conduct pre-shipment inspections for oil, paint, or plastic contamination to meet ISRI scrap specifications and avoid duty adjustments
• Use bills of lading specifying 'ferrous scrap for remelting' to differentiate from waste shipments requiring special permits
• Check for Section 232 tariffs applicability based on melt origin, as steel scrap may trigger additional national security duties
