Import Tips
• Verify coil voltage rating ≤60V and ensure documentation specifies 'contactor' function for motor switching to avoid reclassification as general relays
• Include test certificates for AC-3 duty cycle and IEC 60947-4-1 compliance; common pitfall is missing auxiliary contact specifications
• Label with exact voltage/current ratings; U.S
• Customs may require proof it's not for ≥60V control circuits
