Import Tips
• Provide engineering specs confirming brazed aluminum construction; finned tube designs classify differently under 8419.60.50
• Document LNG-specific safety features and ATEX/IECEx certifications required for hazardous location approvals
• Avoid bulk packaging misclassification by showing retail-ready skid-mounted configurations in import manifests
