Import Tips

• Provide mill test certificates proving carbon steel composition to prevent reclassification as stainless or alloy steel

• Label with maximum pressure and temperature ratings to comply with ASME standards and facilitate CBP review

• Bundle with installation instructions but avoid packaging as sets to maintain individual valve classification
