Import Tips
• Submit chemical analysis reports confirming composition; U.S
• Note (g) heat-resisting steel may trigger review if Cr levels approach limits
• Declare as suitable for electric arc welding with process specs to justify subheading; bulk spools vs retail packs rarely affect classification
• Avoid misdeclaration as stainless if Ni/Cr balance shifts—stick to alloy steel wire documentation
