Import Tips

Verify the casting material is nonmalleable cast iron via metallurgical certification to avoid reclassification under malleable iron codes

Include engineering drawings and installation specs in documentation to prove it's a catch basin, not a generic container

Check local building codes for size and load ratings, as undersized imports may face customs holds for safety compliance
