In the world of international trade, importing power generators can be a lucrative and strategic business — but only if all compliance requirements are met. Failing to comply with import regulations, standards, and documentation can lead to shipment delays, fines, or even confiscation. Whether you’re importing Jiang Dong or Senci generators, understanding cross-border compliance is essential for smooth, legal, and profitable transactions.
1. Understand the Destination Country’s Regulations
Each country has unique regulations for importing machinery, especially diesel-powered equipment like generators. It’s important to research and comply with the following:
- Engine emission standards (e.g., EPA, Euro Stage V)
- Safety and noise regulations
- Energy efficiency or fuel use restrictions
- Voltage and frequency compatibility (50Hz vs 60Hz)
2. Obtain the Required Certifications
Ensure your generators are equipped with internationally recognized certifications. These are often mandatory at customs or for resale in regulated markets:
- CE (Conformité Européenne) – Required in Europe
- EPA Tier Certifications – Required in the USA
- ISO 8528 – International standard for generator sets
- CSA or UL – Required for Canada and North America
Brands like Senci and Jiang Dong already comply with many of these standards, making them excellent candidates for global export.
3. Ensure Accurate Documentation
Customs clearance depends heavily on accurate and complete documentation. Make sure your shipment includes:
- Commercial invoice with correct HS codes
- Packing list and bill of lading
- Certificate of origin
- Inspection certificates (if required)
- Import license (for restricted regions)
