Import Tips
• Provide test reports confirming pressure rating and textile reinforcement composition for CBP review
• Fittings must be vulcanized or mechanically attached; crimped-only may require engineering certification
• Avoid misdeclaration as 'unreinforced' (4009.12) by including cross-section diagrams showing textile layers
