Import Tips

• Provide laboratory analysis or mill test reports certifying the defective nature and unsuitability for commercial use without remelting

• Include end-user certification that material will be used solely for metal recovery through melting processes

• Avoid common pitfall of importing clean prime billets; documentation must clearly show scrap origin and defects
