Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'hot-rolled' with dimensions; CBP often inspects for cold-forming indicators like uniform edges
• Include coating specification sheets; minimum coating requirements for galvanization must match declared specs
• Avoid mixing with uncoated bars in same container to prevent cross-contamination claims
