Import Tips
• Verify motor output rating with manufacturer's test data; customs requires precise measurement between 735-746W for this subheading
• Include NEMA frame size and gear ratio specifications in commercial invoice to avoid reclassification as standard motors
• Ensure CE marking or UL certification documentation for North American electrical standards compliance
