Import Tips
• Provide FR3 fluid certification if using vegetable-based dielectric; mineral oil requires spill containment docs
• Confirm exact kVA rating via manufacturer spec sheet to avoid adjacent capacity subheadings
• Include seismic qualification for California imports per Title 24 requirements
