Import Tips & Compliance
• PC strand wire requires ASTM A416 or EN 10138 certification for tensile properties and chemistry
• Declare as individual wire, not strand; 7-wire strands classify differently under 7312.10
• Relaxation testing data may be requested to confirm high-carbon classification suitability
