Import Tips
• Verify the part is exclusively for non-electric instantaneous/storage water heaters via manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed engineering drawings and OEM compatibility certificates in documentation to prove tariff classification
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; provide cost breakdowns separating heat exchanger from full heater assemblies
