Import Tips
• Submit engineering drawings showing profile cross-sections to confirm classification as profiles vs rods
• Comply with RoHS directives by certifying low hazardous substance levels beyond lead base
• Use proper packaging to prevent deformation, which could lead to reclassification as scrap
