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
