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
