Import Tips
• Document sonic vibration frequency (>30,000 strokes/min) to distinguish from manual brushes and confirm electric motor presence
• Battery capacity and charging specifications must be listed; lithium-ion batteries may trigger additional safety certifications
• Avoid bundling with flossers - separate classification prevents higher duties on multi-function kits
