Import Tips
• Document sensor type (ultrasonic/float) and control algorithm to prove automatic per note 2(a)
• For hazardous fluids, include ATEX/CE certifications; U.S. importers need EPA compliance if applicable
• Avoid reclassification as tank parts (7309) by emphasizing standalone regulating function
