Import Tips
• Provide welding current specs and DC waveform certification to distinguish from standard motors
• Label clearly as 'DC Generator' not 'Welder' to prevent classification under welding machines (8515)
• Watch for undervaluation penalties; declare full industrial-rated capacity even if portable
