Import Tips
• Verify motor output rating with manufacturer's spec sheet; customs requires proof it's between 750W-75kW to avoid reclassification
• Include NEMA frame size details and excitation type (e.g
• permanent magnet) in invoices to confirm 'other' subheading
• Ensure CE marking or UL certification for US entry; common pitfall is missing energy efficiency declarations
