Import Tips
• Certify exact carbon content via mill test certificate as ≥0.6% is required for this subheading
• Measure and document wire diameter precisely (1.0-1.5 mm) to avoid reclassification to adjacent sizes
• Verify zinc coating uniformity through adhesion tests to meet 'plated or coated' criteria
