Import Tips
• Verify motor output does not exceed 18.65W and unit value under $4 with commercial invoice and test reports
• Include CE or UL certification if destined for consumer clocks to meet safety standards
• Avoid misclassification as stepper motors; synchronous motors must maintain constant speed without feedback
