Import Tips
• Verify UL or CSA listing for motor starters to meet U.S. electrical safety standards and avoid CBP holds
• Include detailed motor ratings (HP, voltage, phase) in commercial invoice to confirm classification under 8536.50.40.00
• Avoid misclassification as general contactors (8536.20); provide spec sheets showing integrated overload protection
