Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the fitting is unattached; attached fittings qualify for Free (C) duty under heading 3917 notes
• Provide material composition certification to confirm PVC content over 95% per Chapter 39 polymer rules
• Avoid misclassification as finished assemblies; declare as individual components to prevent higher duties
