Import Tips
• Verify carbon content stays below 0.6% to confirm nonalloy steel classification; provide mill test certificate
• Measure thickness precisely as exceeding 10 mm is critical; patterns must be formed during hot-rolling process
• Avoid entries with any cladding, plating, or post-hot-roll treatments to prevent reclassification
