Sending returns
The operator is responsible for decontaminating the products and may only send decontaminated
products back to VAT. When products are sent back to VAT, the declaration regarding chemical
contamination must be completed and sent to VAT beforehand.
If contaminated products are sent to VAT, VAT will perform a decontamination process at the cost
of the customer. The party sending the products is responsible for ensuring that the valve is sent in
corresponding packaging.
