Import Tips
• Verify compressor HP rating via nameplate and match to 8414.30.8060; misclassification to lower HP subheadings risks penalties
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming non-ammonia refrigerant compatibility (e.g
• R410A, R134a) and refrigerating equipment use
• Include energy efficiency certifications like AHRI for US imports to avoid holds on commercial refrigeration parts
