Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide manufacturer test reports confirming water absorption ≤0.5% per ASTM C373 and porcelain body composition to avoid reclassification as earthenware

• Include CAD drawings or specs proving flushometer tankless design (direct valve connection) versus flush tank models
