Import Tips

• Provide engineering specs showing intended magnetization and end-use to distinguish from finished cores

• Include heat treatment certifications, as ferrite properties depend on sintering processes

• Label clearly as 'unmagnetized blanks' to prevent confusion with ready-to-use transformer parts
