Import Tips
• Provide bolt/nut specifications with fittings, as mechanical joint hardware is integral to classification
• Ensure rubber gaskets meet ASTM F477 standards; test reports prevent reclassification as parts
• For bulk shipments, use proper packing lists detailing joint types to avoid inspection delays
