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
