Import Tips & Compliance

Provide traction duty cycle ratings (S1-S10) and IP protection class in import docs for industrial motor verification

Confirm not part of complete locomotive/vehicle; standalone motors stay in 8501, assembled units may go to 8607

Include vibration/shock test data as traction motors face rigorous customs scrutiny for safety standards
