Import Tips
• Verify electromagnetic actuation mechanism in technical specs to confirm classification under 8505.20, avoiding confusion with mechanical brakes
• Include detailed engineering drawings and torque ratings in documentation for customs valuation and compliance
• Check for hazardous material certifications (e.g
• RoHS) as common pitfalls lead to delays in industrial imports
