Agreed....I stand corrected (or sit in this case) but as I have experienced here the actual faucets in the states and here are not tapered the plumbing in the states is however, that is the difference and the thread is course over the NPT..
The flexible stainless braided hoses to connect to house plumbing to the faucets should be compatible as they have one tapered end and one pipe end if you purchase the right ones there is also some with same same on both ends and that won't work without an adapter this becomes a bigger pain in the ass....
The faucets or the hoses should come with a washer on the end to seal it with....
Bottom line though is as Norton points out there are numerous high end quality American and Euro products here (relatively speaking over local and Chinese) but IMO they are still lower standard than what we have back home..
In case it is tapered a solution I've used successfully even with local junk, in lieu of more T tape in some cases is to stack a couple of washers on top of each other to give it a good seal if it doesn't bottom out against the single washer enough to prevent leaking..
