Import Tips
• Verify battery specifications match 'starting piston engines' per HTS notes; provide engine compatibility documentation
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for lead-acid electrolyte and ensure UN 2794 hazmat labeling for transport
• Test for proper Group Size dimensions to avoid reclassification as general-purpose batteries
