Import Tips
• Verify motor nameplate data matches HTS power specs (735-746W) with test reports to avoid reclassification
• Include CE marking or UL certification documentation for U.S. customs clearance on industrial motors
• Declare exact output power and phase configuration; common pitfall is confusing single-phase with multi-phase
