Import Tips
• Provide chemical composition analysis confirming malleable iron status to distinguish from cast iron fittings
• Label with pressure ratings and 'gas suitable' markings to meet ASME B16.3 standards during customs clearance
• Watch for country-of-origin rules; certain iron fittings from China face additional Section 301 tariffs
