Import Tips & Compliance

Verify pneumatic fluid power classification by confirming operation on compressed air rather than hydraulic fluids

Include detailed technical specs and flow diagrams in documentation to avoid misclassification as general valves

Ensure pressure ratings and modular components are labeled to meet OSHA and ASME standards for import clearance
