Import Tips
• Provide documentation proving vacuum arc remelting to distinguish from standard stainless bars
• Measure cross-sections carefully; exceeding cold-formed tolerances may shift classification
• Avoid packaging that implies further processing, as bulk shipments must show cold-finished state
