Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying carbon content exceeds 0.6% by weight and plating composition
• Ensure flat wire dimensions are documented as Customs may measure cross-section to confirm flat profile
• Avoid misclassification as round wire; include technical drawings showing rectangular cross-section
