Import Tips
• Label fittings with ASTM A48 specification for gray cast iron to confirm nonmalleable properties during customs inspection
• Include hydrostatic test results showing compliance with ASME B16.4 standards for pressure-containing parts
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'ductile iron' which requires different classification and higher duties
