Import Tips & Compliance

Declare total column weight and individual electrode specs; customs may disassemble to verify construction

Include torque specifications for nipple connections (unique to furnace electrodes, 13,000-15,000Nm)

Column assemblies qualify as single units—do not declare as multiple electrodes to avoid under-valuation
