Import Tips
• Document service factor (SF >1.15 typical for compressors) and duty cycle (continuous vs intermittent) for proper valuation
• Ensure motor lacks gear reduction to stay in 8501.40; geared motors classify under 8501.50
• Compressor importers should segregate from pump motors during Customs exam
