Import Tips
• 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
