Import Tips
• Provide NSF/ANSI 372 or equivalent lead content certification; required for U.S. potable water entry
• Mark packaging clearly as 'lead-free' to support end-use as plumbing supply vs. general industrial
• Check state-specific restrictions (e.g
• California AB1953) beyond federal HTS classification
