Import Tips
• Include tensile strength test results in documentation to substantiate heat treatment claims
• Ensure wire is spooled or coiled properly to prevent damage that might suggest prior working beyond allowed polishing
• Declare exact carbon analysis; levels below 0.6% shift classification to lower carbon wire subheadings
