Import Tips
• Include pressure rating certifications and forging diagrams to distinguish from machined parts
• Declare exact alloy type (e.g
• 6061-T6) as non-alloyed vs. alloyed affects potential reclassification
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'finished valve' which shifts to 8481 headings
