Import Tips
• Provide tensile strength test reports and fitting crimp specifications to substantiate classification and safety compliance
• Label stainless steel grade (e.g
• 316) clearly; mismatches lead to reclassification or penalties
• For architectural use, include engineering drawings showing assembly to differentiate from industrial rigging
