Import Tips
• Declare shaft type (slotted/knurled) and mounting style to distinguish from rheostats under same heading
• Provide wattage ratings; high-power variants risk reclassification if resembling heating elements
• Avoid bundling with wiring harnesses, as sets may shift to parts of machines under 8538
