Import Tips
• Verify heat treatment certification (e.g
• head-hardened process) to confirm classification under 7302.10.1055; untreated rails shift to 7302.10.1005
• Provide mill test reports detailing nonalloy steel composition and UIC/ARLO standards to avoid reclassification as alloy steel under 7302.40
• Check rail length and profile against statistical suffixes; lengths over 100m may require special reporting
