Import Tips
• Include cycle diagrams showing plate-fin exchanger integration to distinguish from coil-wound helium systems
• Certify purity levels and leak test results as helium systems require extreme vacuum integrity documentation
• Declare as complete machinery, not parts, to avoid separate classification under 8419.90
