Import Tips

• Obtain mill test certificate verifying welding quality per statistical note 7 and chemical composition limits

• Ensure surface quality meets low decarburization standards; inspect for defects upon arrival to avoid duty disputes

• Declare exact diameter and confirm <14mm measurement; common pitfall is misclassification as concrete reinforcing rod
