Import Tips
• Submit material safety data sheets (MSDS) confirming compatibility with uncured EPDM to validate thermoset use
• Use HTS advisory rulings for custom screw designs to preempt classification disputes
• Ensure country-of-melt origin marking on steel components to comply with steel import regulations
