Import Tips
• Obtain UL 891 or equivalent certification for switchboards to meet NEC standards and avoid CBP holds
• Include detailed wiring diagrams and component lists in documentation to verify apparatus from 8535/8536
• Avoid misclassification as panels by proving integrated control functions; common pitfall is incomplete voltage ratings
