Import Tips

• Provide cavitation frequency specs (typically 20-40 kHz) and power output in invoices to distinguish from non-material-removal ultrasonic cleaners

• Comply with FDA or EU food contact regulations if for food/pharma; pitfall is inadequate material certificates delaying food-grade imports

• Declare explosion-proof ratings for solvent-based applications to prevent reclassification as hazardous location equipment
