It is tater. Truth is we import from China. They sometimes screw up. It is cheaper for them to credit me, pay freight and duty back and remelt than it is for them to buy new scrap steel. I am talking containers full of stuff. Have 2 right now waiting to go back (20 ft) both are right at max load. About 38,000 lbs each.
I do not see how you could make money doing it.
