Import Tips
• Verify system capacity and intended use (e.g
• residential vs. industrial) to confirm classification under 8421.21
• Include NSF/ANSI certification documentation to meet U.S. drinking water standards and avoid customs delays
• Label components clearly to distinguish from general liquid filtration machinery in 8421.19
