Import Tips
• Verify nickel purity exceeds 99% with mill test certificates to confirm non-alloyed status
• Ensure wire is hot-rolled or extruded, not cold-drawn, via manufacturer specs to match 'not cold-formed' criterion
• Declare exact diameter and spool weight accurately; common pitfall is undervaluing for bulk spools
