Import Tips
• Verify the appliance has a self-contained electric motor under 250W typical for domestic use to avoid reclassification to industrial machinery
• Include detailed spec sheets showing food processing functions and household voltage compatibility (110-120V) in import documentation
• Ensure FDA compliance for food-contact parts with certifications like NSF; common pitfall is missing material safety declarations
