Import Tips
• Label with flow coefficient (Cv) and temperature/pressure ratings to support classification as industrial appliance
• Avoid common pitfall of missing country-of-melt for steel origin rules under Section 232 tariffs
• Bundle with installation instructions but ensure not presented as a set to prevent parts reclassification
