Import Tips
• Specify gauge in invoices; thicker gauges (>16) help distinguish premium sanitary ware from thin sheet metal
• Include drain assembly photos to prove completeness as a sink, avoiding parts classification
• Monitor Section 301 tariffs on Chinese stainless; consider Vietnam/Mexico sourcing for duty savings
