Import Tips
• Verify motor nameplate rating and certify power output within 8.21-11.19 kW to avoid misclassification into adjacent power bands
• Include detailed technical specs on reciprocating piston type and stationary mounting in commercial invoice for CBP review
• Ensure CE or UL certification for safety standards, as compressors over 8 kW often face enhanced scrutiny
