Import Tips

Verify UL 217 certification and include test reports in documentation to prove compliance with U.S. fire safety standards

Label battery type and expected life clearly; sealed 10-year lithium batteries require specific hazardous material declarations

Avoid misclassification as hardwired units (8531.10.00.30); confirm no AC power connection capability
