Import Tips
• Obtain certified power ratings from manufacturer to verify compliance with 1,000-10,000 kW range; misclassification risks penalties
• Prepare detailed technical specs and installation drawings for customs valuation and engineering reviews
• Ensure ASME or ISO certification for pressure vessels in turbine housing to avoid delays
