Import Tips
• Provide hydraulic performance curves and power certification to customs for accurate high-power verification
• Label as 'complete turbine unit' to distinguish from parts; incomplete assemblies risk reclassification
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on turbines from certain origins; check Commerce Department listings
