Import Tips

• Verify valve specifications match pneumatic transmission use; provide technical datasheets showing port configuration and pressure ratings for customs classification

• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for pressure equipment if destined for EU; common pitfall is misclassifying as general industrial valves under 8481.80

• Include end-user certificates to avoid anti-dumping duties on certain pneumatic components from Asia
