Import Tips
• Lower chromium 409 grade requires precise alloy certification to distinguish from carbon steel
• Confirm flat-rolled status; bars/rods with deformations would be concrete reinforcing under US note (c)
• Avoid mill edge trimming that creates patterns, potentially qualifying as further worked
