Import Tips
• Verify motor nameplate rating falls between 11.19-19.4 kW and confirm reciprocating piston design via technical specs
• Provide manufacturer's declaration confirming stationary (non-portable) use to avoid misclassification as 8414.80.16.60
• Include energy efficiency certifications like ENERGY STAR if applicable to qualify for potential duty reductions
