Import Tips
• Document exact metal reinforcement (e.g
• steel braid) and ensure no textile presence per chapter note definitions for 'only with metal'
• Comply with EPA lead-free requirements for brass fittings in potable water applications, including lab certifications
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing fittings; customs may treat them as separate if not permanently attached
