Import Tips
• Include engineering drawings showing E-I lamination stack and winding configuration to confirm transformer-specific design during customs review
• Test for core loss specifications and provide certification, as substandard materials may trigger quality-based rejections or higher duties
• Bundle with transformer assembly invoices if imported as part of production kits to qualify for potential duty relief programs
