Import Tips
• Verify exact output power with manufacturer specs to confirm 8501.51.20 classification; include NEMA frame size and efficiency certification in documentation
• Common pitfall: misclassifying as single-phase (8501.40) without phase confirmation
• Obtain motor test reports to avoid CBP reclassification
