Import Tips

Verify valve pressure ratings and port sizes match hydraulic system specs; include technical datasheets in documentation to confirm classification

Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance; common pitfall is misclassifying as general industrial valves without transmission context

Obtain supplier's certificate of origin to qualify for preferential tariffs under US trade agreements like USMCA
