Import Tips

Verify industrial/lab use certification to distinguish from household microwaves (8516.50), which have different duties

Include technical specs proving dielectric loss operation and power ratings over typical consumer levels

Ensure FCC compliance for microwave emissions and proper voltage labeling to avoid customs holds
