Import Tips
• 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
