Import Tips
• Include annealing process details in documentation; soft annealed wire must still meet low carbon specs
• Avoid common error of declaring as tool wire if tensile strength exceeds typical binding specs
• Test for zinc coating uniformity to comply with ASTM A641 standards during customs exam
