Import Tips

• Document compact dimensions (<170x100x45mm preferred) and dual-voltage to avoid standard iron classification

• Ensure packaging shows 'travel/domestic use'; commercial labeling may trigger 8516.79 review

• Test for FCC compliance on electromagnetic emissions for portable appliances
