Import Tips
• Provide evidence of dry-type or oil-filled design and kvar testing to distinguish from variable capacitors
• Label shipments clearly as 'power capacitors for 50/60 Hz' to prevent reclassification during customs exam
• Check for hazardous material declarations if oil-filled to comply with DOT/IMDG shipping rules
