Import Tips
• Certify minimum yield strength (≥355 MPa for ≥3mm thickness) with mill test reports to confirm high-strength status; ensure electrolytic plating documentation distinguishes from hot-dip galvanizing
• Beware reclassification if coating weight exceeds typical electrolytic limits or if used for non-structural purposes
