Import Tips
• Document pipe diameter compatibility and density specs to prove it's a pipe covering, not generic mineral wool
• Obtain safety data sheets confirming non-asbestos composition to meet import health regulations
• Avoid classifying with metal jacketing as a set, which may require separate entry under Chapter 73
