Import Tips
• Verify rail weight per meter exceeds 30 kg and confirm non-heat-treated status with mill certificates to avoid misclassification
• Ensure documentation includes railway end-use certification; common pitfalls include confusing with heat-treated rails under 7302.10.10.30
• Comply with AAR or EN standards for dimensional specs; inspect for defects upon arrival to prevent duty disputes
