Import Tips
• Document flange drilling patterns (e.g
• ANSI 150#) matching US standards to facilitate smooth customs clearance
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing by including installed gasket costs in declared value
• Obtain third-party coating certifications (e.g
• epoxy lining) if present, as they affect classification context
