Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify exact power output with manufacturer's test certificate as CBP requires proof it's 149.2-150 kW to avoid reclassification

• Include NEMA or IEC efficiency ratings in documentation; U.S. energy regulations demand minimum efficiency for motors over 75 kW

• Label phases, voltage, and RPM clearly; mismatched specs lead to 10-20% hold rates at ports
