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'
