Import Tips
• Verify motor output does not exceed 18.65W with manufacturer specs; test reports may be required by CBP
• Include detailed technical datasheets showing DC type, voltage, and power rating in import documentation
• Avoid misclassification as toys if sold standalone; ensure commercial end-use declaration
