Import Tips
• Provide motor compatibility specs and wear resistance data to substantiate electrical brush classification
• Ensure brushes meet dimensional standards for target motors to prevent misclassification as general carbon products
• Declare copper content accurately, as metal-graphite blends may trigger additional metallurgical documentation
