Import Tips

Verify motor output rating with manufacturer specs (37.5-74.6W) and include test certificates to confirm classification as gear motor

Label units clearly with voltage, phase, power rating, and 'Gear Motor' designation for CBP inspection

Avoid misclassification as complete assemblies; document gearbox integration as essential motor component
