Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Document sensor type (ultrasonic/float) and control algorithm to prove automatic per note 2(a)

β€’ For hazardous fluids, include ATEX/CE certifications; U.S. importers need EPA compliance if applicable

β€’ Avoid reclassification as tank parts (7309) by emphasizing standalone regulating function
