Valves for Spain and Portugal: water, irrigation and desalination
The Iberian peninsula is investing heavily in water infrastructure: network renewal, irrigation and desalination. That means demand for large gate valves, butterfly valves and check valves.

Where the demand is
Municipal water companies and concessionaires, irrigation communities, pump station contractors and industry. Irrigation and trunk mains mostly use butterfly valves and resilient-seated gate valves; desalination needs seawater-resistant materials agreed case by case.
Requirements
CE marking under 2014/68/EU where applicable, EN 1092 flanges and, if the buyer asks, documents in Spanish or Portuguese. National requirements apply to materials in contact with drinking water and must be agreed in advance.
Duties
As elsewhere in the EU, GSP+ applies to goods of Uzbek origin when the exporter is registered in REX.
Route
By sea from Turkish ports to Valencia, Barcelona, Algeciras or Lisbon. General cargo can be consolidated with other shipments through Istanbul.
