Import Tips
• Obtain IEEE/ANSI certification and test reports verifying power rating and dielectric fluid specifications to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact kVA capacity on commercial invoice; discrepancies can lead to penalties as capacity determines subheading
• Check EPA regulations for PCB-free insulating oil; provide Material Safety Data Sheets for customs clearance
