Import Tips

• Verify motor output rating with manufacturer's spec sheet and test certificates to confirm >375 kW for correct classification

• Include CE marking or equivalent safety certifications for electrical motors to avoid customs holds

• Declare exact output power accurately; misclassification to lower kW subheadings can lead to penalties
