Import Tips
• Verify voltage/current ratings match US standards (e.g
• 480V/60Hz) to avoid electrical safety certification issues
• Include detailed process descriptions in commercial invoice to distinguish from general power supplies under 8504
• Obtain electroplating process certification if claiming machinery exceptions under HTSUS notes
