Copper Gate Valve for Industrial Piping from Japan
Hand-operated copper gate valve rated for pressures exceeding 850 kPa, ideal for on/off control in high-pressure gas and liquid lines. Classified in HTS 8481.80.10.95 due to its copper construction, manual operation, and pressure specification. Rising stem design ensures reliable sealing in harsh environments.

Import Tips
• Provide engineering drawings showing hand-wheel operation and pressure specs to distinguish from power-operated valves
• Include hydrostatic test certificates proving 850 kPa+ rating to prevent reclassification to lower pressure codes
• Label clearly as 'industrial pipe valve' to avoid confusion with marine or aircraft-specific valves in other subheadings
