Import Tips
• Verify alloy composition meets copper-zinc base alloy definition (zinc predominant, nickel <5%, tin <3%) with mill test certificates
• Ensure fittings are not lead-free if intended for potable water; comply with NSF/ANSI 61 standards and declare accordingly
• Provide detailed technical specs and end-use documentation to avoid misclassification as copper-nickel alloys
