Import Tips & Compliance

• Label as 'bath and shower faucet' explicitly; avoid generic 'valve' terms to prevent reclassification

• Comply with NSF/ANSI 61 for lead-free certification, mandatory for U.S. plumbing imports

• Document hand-operation mechanism; automatic sensor versions go to different subheadings
