Import Tips & Compliance

Verify carbon content certification <0.25% via mill test report to avoid reclassification to higher carbon headings

Measure and document exact diameter at multiple points; slight variations can trigger audits

Ensure no surface coatings present, as even oil residues may require declaration under coated wire subheadings
