How to Import Steel Rebar into USA
A practical guide to importing reinforcing steel into USA — ports, documentation, standards and Incoterms.
1. Confirm the standard
Specify ASTM A615 / A706 on your order so the mill certificate matches USA’s acceptance requirements.
2. Choose the port & Incoterms
Rebar for USA lands at Houston & Gulf ports. Decide FOB (you arrange freight), CFR or CIF (we arrange freight/insurance to your port).
3. Documentation
- EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificate (per heat)
- Certificate of Origin
- Commercial invoice & packing list
- Bill of Lading; inspection cert (SGS/BV) if required
4. Duties & clearance
Import duty and VAT/GST vary by country and trade agreement — confirm the HS code (7214/7213 for bar/rod) with your customs broker.
