Import Tips
• Verify generator capacity and purifier specs in commercial invoice to match HTS description and avoid reclassification
• Include safety certifications (e.g
• ASME pressure vessel code) as common CBP scrutiny point for gas equipment
• Declare fuel type compatibility (coal/coke) to prevent misclassification as unrelated combustion apparatus
