Import Tips
• Verify the motor is self-contained electric (not corded or battery requiring separate charger classification) and include motor specs in documentation
• Ensure chain and bar meet safety standards like ANSI B175.1; provide test reports to avoid customs holds
• Label with voltage (e.g
• 120V), power rating, and country of origin; common pitfall is misclassifying as non-motorized hand tool
