Import Tips
• Document phosphorus content (<0.015%) to confirm refined status vs. alloys; customs often tests for alloying elements
• Avoid classifying as 'profile' if used commercially as rod stock; provide end-use statements if requested
• Package securely to prevent deformation of rectangular shape during transit, as damaged goods may reclassify
