Import Tips
• Obtain EPA and CARB certifications for the internal combustion engine to meet U.S. emissions standards
• Include detailed spec sheets showing kW rating, fuel type, and noise levels in documentation to avoid reclassification
• Check voltage/frequency (60Hz) compatibility; mismatched units may require modification and trigger customs holds
