Import Tips
• Verify rail condition documentation proving unsuitability for direct track use; clean rails may face regular Chapter 73 classification
• Include mill test reports and wear measurements to substantiate 'relaying/rerolling' status under subheading requirements
• Avoid common pitfall of improper weight declarations; rails must be processed solely for metal recovery or rerolling
