Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide RUS (Rural Utilities Service) acceptability listing for government-funded projects

• Ensure temperature rise ratings (e.g

• 65°C) are documented to prevent reclassification as industrial

• Declare exact BIL (Basic Impulse Level) ratings for high-voltage compliance verification
