Import Tips
• Verify scrap meets ISRI specifications (e.g
• No. 1 HMS) with lab certification to avoid reclassification as prepared scrap under 7204.41
• Provide radiation scanning certificates as CBP requires non-radioactive declaration for all ferrous scrap
• Include bill of lading details on scrap grade and origin to prevent holds due to contamination concerns
