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
