Import Tips
• Include hydrostatic test reports showing pressure ratings to substantiate use in pipe systems
• Label products clearly as 'check valves of iron' to match HTS description and avoid reclassification
• Be cautious of imported sets with gaskets; declare as complete valve or risk parts classification
