Import Tips & Compliance

Submit chemical analysis reports confirming exact nickel (>0.3%) and molybdenum (>0.08%) levels to avoid reclassification

Include end-use statement specifying electric arc welding application with reference to relevant AWS/ISO standards

Check for proper spool packaging documentation; bulk wire may trigger different valuation methods
