Import Tips

Verify motor output with manufacturer's spec sheet using IEC 60034 standards to confirm 74.6-735W range and multi-phase AC classification

Include CE marking or UL certification documentation; ensure nameplate data matches declared HTS for CBP verification

Avoid misclassification as single-phase (8501.40) by providing phase wiring diagrams; watch for output exceeding 750W threshold
