7302.10.10.65 - Railway rails for rerolling 🖩

This HTS category, 7302.10.10.65, specifically covers railway rails that are designated for rerolling. Rerolling is a secondary steelmaking process where used or scrap steel rails are reheated and passed through rolls to be reformed into new steel products. Therefore, the key characteristic for classification under this subheading is the intended subsequent reprocessing of the rail material.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7302.10.10.75 "Other," is crucial. While both fall under "Used Rails" within the broader category of "Rails of iron or nonalloy steel," this specific subheading is for rails whose primary purpose is to be melted down and reformed. The "Other" sibling would encompass used rails that are intended for reuse as is in railway track construction, or for other purposes not involving rerolling.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 7302.10.10.65 is determined by the physical condition of the rails (being used) and their defined end-use or intended destination for the rerolling process. Importers and exporters must ensure documentation accurately reflects this intended purpose to avoid misclassification.
