Import Tips
• Provide copper alloy content certification (e.g
• C36000) to distinguish from plastic or steel bodies
• Declare as 'valve body only' with photos excluding ball/stem to avoid complete valve classification
• Check for lead-free compliance if destined for potable water systems per US regulations
