Import Tips
• Label fittings clearly with fiber content and asbestos-free declaration to pass CBP inspection
• Pair with matching pipe invoices to prevent splitting as separate articles under different headings
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; provide cost breakdowns separating cement from fiber components
