Import Tips
• Verify zinc purity exceeds 97.5% for non-alloy classification per chapter notes; alloyed zinc shifts to other subheadings
• Provide detailed engineering specs and end-use documentation to confirm pipe fitting status and avoid misclassification as machinery parts
• Ensure fittings meet ASTM standards for plumbing; common pitfall is inadequate pressure rating labels leading to rejections
