Import Tips
• Include armature and field winding specifications to confirm DC operation and prevent confusion with AC motors
• Obtain NEMA or IEC certification documents for motor efficiency and safety standards required at U.S. ports
• Declare exact kW rating accurately; customs may test/verify output power leading to penalties for under/over-declaration
