Import Tips
• Verify exact kVA rating via nameplate data and test certificates to confirm 8504.33.00 classification
• Obtain DOE efficiency certification as required for U.S. energy standards on distribution transformers
• Include tank integrity test reports to avoid customs holds on oil-filled units
