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
