Import Tips
• Provide evidence of four-face rolling for universal mill plates to support width/thickness specs
• Ensure no chemical treatments beyond basic scale removal to maintain 'not further worked' status
• Test for high-strength steel specs; if minimum yield exceeds limits, reclassify under alloy headings
