Import Tips
• Carbon content certification is critical; C45 typically qualifies but verify exact analysis meets 0.25-0.6% range
• Watch for twisted-after-rolling which has separate provisions; standard hot-rolled stays in this code
• For square/rectangular sections, confirm not qualifying as 'concrete reinforcing' under note (c)
