Import Tips
• Verify internal coating material (e.g
• PVC, epoxy) meets non-electrically insulating specs; provide coating certification to CBP
• Confirm wall thickness <1.65mm and suitability for electrical conduit via engineering specs or UL listing
• Avoid misclassification as plain pipe by documenting electrical end-use; include installation diagrams if challenged
