Import Tips
• Provide AASHTO load class certifications (e.g
• A-15, B-125) to confirm compliance with infrastructure standards
• Declare exact dimensions and weight, as oversized castings may face dimensional import restrictions
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no plastic inserts, which could reclassify as composite articles
