If it is found that the flange’s steel stamp lacks the factory mark and furnace batch number, what should be done if the flange is rejected?

The flanges exported to Iran were found to be missing the manufacturer’s mark and furnace batch number; now the authorities suspect that these flanges are counterfeit. What should be done? Weird factories and weird inspectors.
I think we should prepare a new set of materials for the Japanese, but the boss refuses; what should I do?
If you redo the documents, foreigners will definitely suspect you of fraud. The goods can be taken back; after completing the necessary information, they can be submitted again. But if I were a foreigner, I would have you send over the goods first and then return that portion.
The steel stamp needs to be stamped again; how can the original one be removed? The guy said it’s not up to standard and won’t allow shipment; can we do a spectroscopy test instead?
That standard requires this: the manufacturer’s mark and material information must be marked on the flange
Foreigners only recognize the markings on the flange; providing additional information isn’t enough. ASME B16.5 provides very detailed specifications.
It’s just that the markings are missing. What should be done? Adding markings won’t work either; does it really mean that all the flanges have to be replaced?
Prepare a new one. Your factory is really strange too – for products meant for export, they still don’t put in enough effort, making such basic mistakes. If I were a foreigner, I would have you ship the goods first and then return the defective ones.
Redo the documents; nowadays foreigners are also very cautious and don’t trust Chinese people that much. If you redo the documents, they still won’t believe them.
If it is not a flange that meets special standard specifications, return it to the previous batch, reship it, and add the necessary documentation before putting it into inventory.
No factory logo, it’s still fine. . . Damn, there’s no furnace batch number either – how can it be tracked?
