Import Tips
• Verify the precious metal coating meets minimum thickness standards for tariff classification; provide assay certificates from accredited labs
• Ensure cast iron composition is documented, as non-cast iron baths shift to other subheadings; common pitfall is misdeclaring alloy types
• Comply with EPA lead content regulations for plumbing fixtures; include material safety data sheets in documentation
