Import Tips
• Verify DOT certification markings (e.g
• DOT-4BA) and hydrostatic test dates prior to export; non-compliant tanks face rejection
• Include manufacturer's certification letter confirming compliance with 49 CFR sections 178.36-178.68 or exemption
• Avoid common pitfalls like missing valve protection caps, which can lead to damage claims during shipping
