Customs Clearance of Industrial Valves and Parts from Iranian Customs (HS Code + Documents & Permits)
Industrial valves play a crucial and strategic role in many sectors by controlling and directing the flow of liquids, gases, and chemicals. These devices are used across oil & gas, petrochemicals, water & wastewater, power plants, food, and pharmaceuticals. They are engineered to operate reliably under harsh conditions and high pressures.

1. Ball Valves
Simple and effective operation: rotating the ball opens or shuts the flow completely.
Suitable for quick shutoff: the straightforward design enables rapid opening and closing.
Broad use in corrosive environments: can be manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials, making them suitable for chemical industries.
2. Butterfly Valves
Lightweight and compact: ideal where smaller, lighter equipment is required.
Ease of use: fast opening/closing and simple flow control.
Versatile: usable across a wide temperature range in different industrial settings.
3. Gate Valves
Simple, robust structure: flow is controlled by a vertically moving gate without obstructions.
Suited to high pressure: resistant to severe pressures for pressurized transfer systems.
Not for throttling: primarily intended for full shutoff or full open, not precise regulation.
4. Needle Valves
High precision control: their design enables very accurate flow adjustments.
Use in sensitive industries: suitable for chemical dosing and sensitive process control.
Operable at various temperatures and pressures: can be used in different conditions.
5. Safety Valves
Protect equipment and personnel: relieve excess pressure to prevent explosions and damage.
Automatic, safe operation: activate automatically in emergencies to keep pressure safe.
Use in critical environments: widely used in power plants and chemical industries.
