Import Tips
• Verify product width is under 600 mm and confirm no cladding, plating, or coating via mill test certificate
• Provide detailed chemical composition analysis to confirm nonalloy steel status (carbon steel without significant alloying elements)
• Avoid misclassification as cold-rolled; ensure documentation proves hot-rolled state only, no further working like polishing
