Import Tips

Submit detailed technical datasheets confirming output between 750-10,000 kVA and AC synchronous operation to avoid reclassification

Label as 'AC generator alternator, not photovoltaic' and include AVR (automatic voltage regulator) details for smooth clearance

Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; provide cost breakdowns separating alternator from optional accessories like enclosures
