What is downgraded/declassified material?

Heboss buys declassified material mostly directly from reputable factories or service centres. It is produced as prime quality steel but shows mainly minor flaws such as dents or scratches. The material may be out of tolerance for European or American standards but often in good condition. Heboss trades this material at an attractive price point.
