Import Tips

• Document heating element specs separately to distinguish from pure steam humidifiers (8509.80.10)

• Ensure product labeling specifies 'domestic use' to avoid reclassification as commercial equipment

• Test for ultrasonic frequency (>1.7 MHz typically) as proof against evaporative humidifier claims
