Import Tips
• Verify turbine output exceeds 40 MW with manufacturer specs for correct subheading; misclassification to lower outputs risks penalties
• Obtain ASME certification and provide detailed engineering drawings for customs valuation of complex machinery
• Check for export controls under EAR for high-tech turbines and prepare BIS licenses if applicable
