Import Tips
• Verify motor output rating with manufacturer's spec sheet and test reports to confirm it falls within 74.6-735W range
• Include detailed technical data on voltage, speed (RPM), and AC/DC compatibility in commercial invoice to avoid misclassification
• Be aware of energy efficiency standards; non-compliant motors may face additional EPA or DOE scrutiny upon import
