Import Tips
• Verify motor output with manufacturer's test data sheet matching 735-746W exactly to avoid reclassification
• Include CE marking or UL certification documentation for safety compliance in electrical imports
• Declare horsepower equivalent accurately, as 1HP ≈746W; slight variances can trigger audits
