Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as reactor modules/parts
Incomplete SMR modules may be parts rather than full reactors.
If low-power SMRs under specific generating set limits
Very small output SMRs could classify as electric generators.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Benefit from modular design for containerized import clearance
• Include factory acceptance test protocols and pre-assembly certifications
• Watch for reclassification risks as 'parts' during multi-module shipments
