Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying sulfur content (typically 0.15-0.30%) and free-cutting composition per AISI standards
• Ensure coils weigh under 5 tons to avoid classification shift to straight lengths under 7214
• Declare exact chemical analysis to distinguish from concrete reinforcing bars which have exclusions
