Import Tips
• Ensure no galvanized or tinplate contamination, as exceeding 1% triggers reclassification or penalties
• Submit end-user statements confirming remelting use to comply with scrap import regulations
• Bundle scrap loosely per ISRI specs to differentiate from baled scrap under other provisions
