Import Tips
• Verify electrothermic heating element presence and airflow specs meet hand dryer definition; non-heating air blowers classify elsewhere
• Include ETL/UL certification documentation for electrical safety compliance in sanitary environments
• Declare as 'hand-drying apparatus' not 'air blower' to avoid reclassification to 8414.59
