Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'EMT' or 'conduit' and include UL listing if applicable to support end-use classification
• Conduct hydrostatic or non-destructive testing and document to prove weld integrity for thin-wall compliance
• Avoid bundling with fittings; separate shipments prevent reclassification as sets under different headings
