Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming carbon content below 0.25% and exact diameter measurement under 76 mm to avoid reclassification
• Ensure documentation specifies 'not further worked than hot-rolled' to prevent duty shifts to cold-finished categories
• Check for twisting after rolling, as twisted bars remain classified here but require clear process documentation
