Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'textile reinforced only' and retain supplier affidavits to prevent misclassification
• For fittings, specify material (plastic/metal) in invoices; mismatches can delay customs clearance
• Test for compliance with NSF/ANSI 61 standards if for potable water to avoid FDA import alerts
