Import Tips
• Verify unit capacity and compressor type in documentation to confirm centrifugal classification and avoid misfiling under 8418.69.0180 for other refrigerating units
• Include energy efficiency ratings and refrigerant type declarations to meet EPA compliance for importation
• Obtain ASHRAE safety certifications early to prevent customs holds on large industrial chillers
