Import controls on metallic scrap require pre-shipment inspection and radiation screening before port clearance. Imports of metallic waste and scrap are subject to conditional controls requiring a pre-shipment inspection certificate confirming radiation levels at or below natural background and contractual assurances against radioactive contamination. Unshredded or loose scrap also requires certification of absence of explosives, demonstrable classification as scrap, and clearance only through designated ports equipped with Radiation Portal Monitors and container scanners, with inland handling permitted only after routing through those ports and subject to risk-based scanning. Consignments from specified safe countries may be exempted from PSIC at certain ports but remain subject to radiation and explosive checks.
