Import Tips
• Verify motor horsepower does not exceed 3/4 HP to qualify under 8501.40.60; provide test reports if requested
• Include efficiency ratings per DOE standards on documentation to avoid reclassification
• Label with voltage, phase, and RPM specs; common pitfall is missing UL certification for electrical safety
