Import Tips

• Verify valve pressure rating and flow capacity match system specs; include technical datasheets in documentation to avoid misclassification as pneumatic

• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for pressure equipment compliance; common pitfall is missing hydraulic fluid compatibility certification

• Declare exact port sizes (e.g

• CETOP 3/NG6) and spool type; bulk shipments may require individual packaging labeling
