Import Tips
• Annealing doesn't change classification but ensure documentation shows no chemical coatings applied during process
• Fine wires prone to tangling; proper spooling/packaging prevents damage claims denial per chapter notes on rust
• Test for carbon content uniformity; spot variations can lead to entire lot reclassification
