Import Tips

Verify compatibility certification with specific meter models and obtain supplier declarations confirming use solely with electricity meters

Include detailed technical specs and calibration data in documentation to avoid misclassification as general transformers

Ensure RoHS compliance for electronic components and prepare for FCC testing if incorporating wireless features
