Import Tips
• Include pressure/temperature ratings and compatibility specs to prove it's not general rubber sheeting
• Test for material durometer and reinforcement type; mismatches lead to Chapter 40 rubber goods classification
• Bundle with OEM part numbers from valve manufacturers like Fisher or Masoneilan for easier CBP review
