Import Tips
• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) proving no asbestos content for U.S
• EPA compliance
• Document end-use as agricultural to differentiate from building pipes under potential other codes
• Avoid common pitfall of missing hydrostatic test reports, which customs may require for verification
