Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying alloy composition (Cr, Mo content) to confirm classification as alloy steel
• Ensure product dimensions confirm circular cross section under 230 mm diameter to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact carbon equivalent and heat analysis to prevent disputes over 'other alloy steel' status
