Import Tips
• Provide engine model certification showing compression-ignition application to distinguish from spark-ignition parts
• Include relay electrical ratings (amperage, voltage) in documentation to confirm function as starting equipment part
• Avoid common error of classifying as general electrical relays under 8536; specify engine starting use
