Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate (MTC) confirming nonalloy composition and carbon limit
• Declare exact cross-sectional dimensions; hexagonal shapes measured across flats must be <76 mm
• Avoid shipping with protective oils that could be interpreted as 'chemical surface treatment' triggering further worked status
