Import Tips

Include vibration resistance certifications as RV units must withstand mobile conditions; reference DOE standards for portable refrigerators

Document electrical specs (AC/DC compatibility) and absorption media to distinguish from thermoelectric coolers

Avoid pitfalls by confirming 'household type' via capacity (<15 cu ft typically); larger units risk reclassification
