Import Tips
• Verify hub specifications match wind turbine model to confirm classification under 8412; provide OEM documentation
• Include engineering drawings showing integration with nacelle and blades to avoid reclassification as general machinery parts
• Comply with renewable energy certifications like IEC 61400 for smoother customs clearance
