Import Tips & Compliance

Verify motor efficiency ratings comply with U.S

DOE standards; non-compliant units may face detention

Include detailed nameplate data (voltage, Hz, phases, kW) in commercial invoice to avoid misclassification

Obtain NEMA or IEC certification copies; common pitfall is missing explosion-proof ratings for hazardous locations
