Import Tips

• Verify compressor specifications confirm ammonia compatibility via pressure ratings and material certifications to avoid reclassification

• Include detailed technical datasheets and ammonia safety compliance docs (e.g

• ASME standards) in import documentation

• Watch for pitfalls like mislabeling as general-purpose; ensure invoices specify 'for ammonia refrigerating equipment'
