Import Tips
• Label voltage/frequency (60Hz) clearly to confirm domestic use; mismatches lead to CBP holds
• Provide user manuals proving food grinding/processing functions, avoiding mix-up with blenders (8509.40.00.20)
• Test for ETL/UL safety marks; pitfall is importing without NRTL certification for corded appliances
