Import Tips
• Include biocompatibility certifications (ISO 10993) and exact alloy specs to justify medical but non-specialty steel classification
• Document sterile packaging separately; wire itself must not be 'further worked' like coated
• Monitor for low-carbon variants that might qualify as razor blade steel if dimensions match note (d)
