Import Tips
• Verify turbine power source documentation proving steam drive to avoid reclassification to gas or diesel sets
• Include detailed specs on generator output (kW/MW) and turbine type in commercial invoice for customs valuation
• Ensure compliance with EPA emissions standards; obtain CARB certification if destined for California markets
