Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If including switch blades or frogs
Mixed rail track construction pieces (not pure rails) use the 'other' heading.
If hydraulic sheared into billets
Pre-processed reroll feedstock from rails becomes alloy steel scrap billets.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct ultrasonic testing reports to document defects justifying scrap status
• Separate from fishplates during loading to maintain pure rail classification
• Comply with ISPM 15 for wooden dunnage in shipments

Used AAR 136RE Alloy Steel Railway Rail for Rerolling
This is a used 136RE profile railway rail made from alloy steel, previously employed in standard gauge freight lines, now designated for rerolling into new rail products. It falls under HTS 7302.10.50.40 as used railway rails of alloy steel specifically intended for scrap processing and remelting in steel mills. The rail shows wear from service but retains structural integrity suitable for recycling.
Scrap 115RE Used Alloy Rail Sections for Rerolling
Worn 115RE profile alloy steel rails recovered from heavy haul lines, bundled for export as rerolling feedstock. Classified under HTS 7302.10.50.40 due to their alloy composition, prior track use, and unsuitability for relaying—destined for shredding and remelt. Typical length 60 feet with standard head, web, and base dimensions.
Worn UIC60 Alloy Steel Rails for Rerolling
Used UIC60 continuous welded alloy steel rails from European high-speed lines, scrapped due to fatigue and profiled for rerolling mills. HTS 7302.10.50.40 applies as used alloy rails unfit for service but valuable for alloy recovery in steel production. Domed head design per UIC standards.
