Import Tips
• Include pressure ratings and temperature specs in documentation to confirm classification as superheater parts
• Ensure origin certificates for alloys to qualify for preferential tariffs under USMCA or similar agreements
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as generic 'pipes'; specify 'superheater elements for steam boilers'
