Import Tips
• Verify exact power rating documentation (precisely 1 kVA) as customs may require test reports to confirm classification within 8504.31.60.00
• Ensure UL or equivalent safety certifications for electrical transformers to meet US import standards and avoid CBP holds
• Declare voltage ratings and insulation class accurately; mislabeling can lead to reclassification under higher-duty codes
