Import Tips
• Verify motor output rating with manufacturer specs; customs requires precise power documentation to confirm 750W-75kW range
• Include CE marking or UL certification for electrical safety compliance; lack of safety labels can delay clearance
• Declare exact NEMA frame size and voltage to prevent reclassification as fractional horsepower motors
