Import Tips
• Obtain IEEE C57 certification and test reports verifying power handling capacity over 500 kVA to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed nameplate data and efficiency ratings in documentation; common pitfall is missing DOE efficiency compliance labels
• Verify voltage ratings match U.S. grid standards (e.g
• 13.8 kV primary) to prevent customs holds
