Which documents are needed to export distribution transformers?
Commercial invoice, Packing list, Bill of lading / airway bill, Certificate of origin (preferential where an FTA applies), Routine and type test reports, Factory acceptance test report, Drawings and O&M manual. Destination-specific registrations are listed on each market page.
Copper or aluminium windings?
Both are accepted in many tenders. Copper is more compact and efficient; aluminium is cheaper and lighter.
Do you have type-tested designs?
Partner manufacturers hold short-circuit and other type tests from accredited labs such as CPRI or KEMA for standard ratings.
Can we witness the factory tests?
Yes. Factory acceptance tests can be witnessed by you or a nominated inspector.
