Import Tips & Compliance

Verify asbestos-free certification with lab test reports to comply with import bans and HTS exclusion

Provide engineering specs confirming cellulose fiber-cement composition to avoid reclassification as concrete pipe

Check local building codes for diameter and pressure ratings, as non-compliant pipes may face regulatory holds
