- Trade characteristics: Orders from emerging markets are large, mainly featuring standard U/W type finned tubes, and the prices are sensitive; the European and American markets mainly involve OEM non-standard customization and special materials (Incoloy 800) for corrosion resistance / high-temperature applications, with high margins. CE and RoHS are basic thresholds, and UL certification is a must in North America
