Import Tips
• Provide load-bearing test reports (e.g
• AASHTO standards) to confirm it's a frame/grate, avoiding misclassification as ornamental ironwork
• Label with country of origin and material composition clearly, as anti-dumping duties may apply to certain cast iron imports
• Ensure dimensions match U.S. standards to prevent rejection; common pitfall is metric vs. imperial sizing mismatches
