Import Tips

Verify the rail's alloy steel composition via mill certificates to confirm HTS classification and avoid misclassification as carbon steel

Include documentation proving prior railway use (e.g

removal records) and intent for rerolling to meet 'used' criteria

Inspect for hazardous contaminants like oil residue; obtain scrap metal export permits from origin country
