Import Tips

Verify compliance with AAR (Association of American Railroads) specifications and provide mill test certificates for steel composition

Ensure documentation includes rail weight per yard and profile dimensions to avoid misclassification as profiles under Chapter 72

Check for country-of-origin rules as many steel rails face antidumping duties from specific producers
