Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the percolator mechanism complies with 8516.71 specifications; drip-style coffee makers classify differently under 8516.71.0040 only for true percolators
• Include ETL or UL certification documentation to meet U.S. safety standards for electrothermic appliances and avoid CBP holds
• Declare exact capacity and voltage (110-120V for U.S. market) to prevent misclassification as commercial equipment
