Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Provide engineering specs showing intended magnetization and end-use to distinguish from finished cores

β€’ Include heat treatment certifications, as ferrite properties depend on sintering processes

β€’ Label clearly as 'unmagnetized blanks' to prevent confusion with ready-to-use transformer parts
