Import Tips
• Provide evidence of automatic feedback loop (sensors + actuators) to distinguish from manual flow meters
• Label as 'pneumatic automatic regulator' clearly; mislabeling leads to reclassification and penalties
• Ensure CE marking for EU-sourced units if re-exporting, as it impacts U.S. customs valuation
