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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If cut into short lengths under 2 meters
Chopped alloy steel rail scrap behaves like general ferrous scrap in Chapter 72.
If not specifically for rerolling but general scrap
Other used alloy rails (non-reroll specific) use the residual statistical suffix.
If imported as complete tie plates attached
Rails with specialized jointing material may classify as 'other material for fixing rails'.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Bundle rails securely to prevent shifting during ocean transport; use ISRI scrap specs for grading
• Declare exact weight and alloy content accurately to prevent customs reclassification and penalties
• Check for radiation-free certification if sourced from nuclear-adjacent rail lines
