Import Tips
• Include OEM specification sheets confirming kVA rating and wind turbine model compatibility
• For European imports, leverage USMCA or trade agreement preferences for renewable components with proper origin certification
• Document rotor/stator dimensions early to preempt size-based reclassification challenges
