Import Tips

• Verify compatibility certification with specific boiler models in headings 8402 or 8403 to confirm auxiliary plant status

• Include detailed engineering drawings and heat transfer specs in documentation to avoid reclassification as general heat exchangers

• Ensure pressure vessel compliance with ASME or equivalent standards; common pitfall is missing hydrostatic test certificates
