Import Tips

• Verify rail origin and usage history with supplier certificates to confirm 'used' status and avoid misclassification as new rails under 7302.10.10.30

• Conduct metallurgical analysis to ensure nonalloy steel composition; alloyed rails may shift to 7302.40 headings

• Prepare scrap metal export permits from origin country and comply with US EPA recycling guidelines to prevent environmental holdups at customs
