Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Include hydrostatic test reports proving 27.6 MPa burst pressure to avoid reclassification

β€’ Declare exact polymer content; copolymers must meet 95% predominance rule from subheading notes

β€’ Check for fittings; unattached hoses stay here, but attached may qualify for special rates per US note
