Import Tips
• Include FRA loading guides and sound level test data; noise regulations vary by import destination
• Verify tank pressure test certificates (typically 7 psi) as proof of leak-tight construction
• Use specialized heavy-lift flatbed containers; declare gross weight accurately for bridge toll compliance
