Import Tips
• Document pipe diameter range (12-48 inches typical) and ductile iron grade compatibility (e.g
• ASTM A536)
• Ensure invoices specify 'molds' vs 'machine components' to avoid parts of machinery classification
• Comply with Buy America requirements if for US water infrastructure projects
