Import Tips
• Ensure UL or ETL safety certification for electrical components to pass US customs and market entry
• Declare exact BTU/kW conversion accurately; exceeding 17.58 kW threshold shifts to higher subheading
• Package securely to prevent coil damage in transit; inspect for dents which could trigger reclassification as parts
