Import Tips

Verify ductile iron composition via mill test reports to confirm classification under cast fittings, avoiding misclassification as wrought steel

Include joint gasket specifications in documentation, as rubber compression seals must be explicitly noted for customs compliance

Check for pressure ratings and AWWA standards certification to prevent valuation disputes on specialized municipal fittings
