Import Tips
• Include galvanization specs in documentation; excessive zinc coating may trigger reclassification debates
• Label as plumbing fittings, not electrical, to prevent shift to Chapter 85 conduit classifications
• Batch import with country-of-melt certificates to confirm brass alloy compliance under subheading notes
