Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate verifying carbon content ≥0.6% and heat treatment process to avoid reclassification
• Measure and document exact wire diameter at entry; tolerances must confirm <1.0 mm to qualify for this subheading
• Avoid surface contamination that could be interpreted as coating; uncoated status requires clean entry condition
