Import Tips
• Verify turbine output certification exceeds 40 MW with manufacturer specs to confirm HTS 8406.81.10.70 classification
• Obtain end-user statements proving power generation use to avoid reclassification as industrial machinery
• Prepare detailed technical drawings and ASME compliance docs to prevent customs delays on large turbine shipments
