Import Tips
• Verify system pressure ratings and material compatibility certifications to meet OSHA and EU Machinery Directive standards
• Include detailed engineering specs and pneumatic component lists in documentation to avoid misclassification as general machinery
• Check for explosion-proof certifications if handling flammable grains to comply with ATEX regulations
