Import Tips

Include photos and wear measurements in commercial invoice to substantiate 'for rerolling' status and prevent reclassification as reusable track material

Ensure no hazardous contaminants like oil or chemicals; obtain clean scrap certification to pass US customs inspections

Use ISRI scrap specifications (e.g

R65 for rerollable rails) in contracts to align with international trade standards
