Import Tips
• Verify furnace power rating and induction coil specifications to confirm classification under 8514.20; provide technical datasheets
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for electrical safety compliance; declare exact frequency range (e.g
• 1-10 kHz)
• Avoid misclassification as general electric ovens (8514.10); document induction heating mechanism to prevent reclassification
