Import Tips
• Verify exact output rating with manufacturer specs (75-375 kW) and provide test certificates to confirm DC generator classification, avoiding reclassification as AC motors
• Include detailed technical datasheets showing no photovoltaic components and electromagnetic generation mechanism for CBP review
