Import Tips
• Verify rail weight certification exceeds 30 kg/m and confirm standard tee profile via engineering drawings to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates proving nonalloy steel composition and non-heat-treated status for customs clearance
• Ensure compliance with AAR or UIC standards documentation to prevent delays in railway material imports
