Import Tips
• Differentiate ornamental twisting from reinforcing deformations in entry docs to stay in general bars
• Provide photos/specs showing smooth surface post-twisting, no ribs per concrete bar definitions
• Verify carbon via spectrometry if challenged, as low-carbon essential for this subheading
