Import Tips
• Provide heat treatment records showing precipitation hardening but no surface coatings to stay in base wire heading
• Label clearly as stainless with alloy designation; customs may test for chromium/nickel content
• Avoid bundling with fittings/parts - sold as wire only to prevent set classification under 7326
