Import Tips
• 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
