Import Tips & Compliance

Invoice as 'mold segments' with full assembly diagrams showing centrifugal pipe casting application

Certify material composition (e.g

88% Cu, 10% Ni) to distinguish from general steel articles

Watch for minimum value thresholds that might trigger informal entry requirements
