Import Tips

Include test certificates showing output >750 kVA; customs may request proof to avoid down-classification

Ensure AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) specs are documented; integral to classification as complete generator

Avoid common error of declaring as 'generator parts' if fully assembled with housing and terminals
