Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates specifying nonmalleable cast iron chemistry to comply with HTS material requirements
• Ensure thread standards (e.g
• NPT) match US plumbing norms to avoid import delays from non-compliance
• Watch for overclassification as malleable iron; request foundry process details if chemical analysis shows higher ductility
