Import Tips
• Obtain mill test certificate verifying carbon content below 0.25% and exact diameter measurement between 1.0-1.5 mm
• Ensure zinc coating thickness documentation complies with ASTM A123 or equivalent standards to avoid reclassification
• Declare precise weight percentages; common pitfall is misstating carbon content leading to audits
