Import Tips & Compliance

• Label packages clearly as 'microwave oven parts' with model compatibility lists to prevent reclassification

• Provide test reports confirming RPM specifications match standard microwaves (typically 6 RPM synchronous motors)

• Avoid importing with glass trays, as sets may classify differently under parts for kitchen appliances
