Import Tips

• Verify ENERGY STAR or equivalent efficiency ratings and include test reports to meet U.S. energy standards under 10 CFR Part 430

• Provide detailed technical specs confirming absorption cycle (e.g

• ammonia-based) and electrical input to avoid misclassification as vapor compression units

• Ensure labeling complies with FTC appliance labeling rules; common pitfall is incomplete refrigerant cycle documentation leading to CBP holds
