Import Tips
• Obtain NEMA certification and provide detailed test reports on oil dielectric strength and BIL ratings for customs clearance
• Declare exact MVA rating and voltage class; under-declaring capacity risks reclassification and penalties
• Ensure shipping manifests specify 'liquid-filled' to avoid confusion with dry-type transformers
