Import Tips
• 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
