Import Tips

Specify 'rheostat' explicitly with current rating to prevent confusion with heating elements (8516)

Include heat dissipation test data; common issue is reclassification if wattage suggests heating function

For bulk imports, use commercial invoices with HTS breakdown to streamline entry
