Import Tips
• Verify total refrigerated volume via manufacturer specs; include both fresh food and freezer compartments to confirm 269-382L range
• Include ENERGY STAR or CEC certification documents to avoid delays; non-compliant units may face additional testing requirements
• Label with exact model capacity in liters and 'household type' to prevent misclassification as commercial equipment
