AmericasUnited States
The US is a 60 Hz market with its own voltage and plug conventions, so equipment has to be specified for it rather than converted afterwards. Importers also face a duty position that depends on the HS code and on current trade measures, which is why the page points to a broker instead of publishing a rate.
For the United States, specify the machine for 60 Hz and the US voltage convention from the start, because adapting afterwards is not a simple change. Confirm the HS code and current duty position with a customs broker, since trade measures change. Buyers here should also confirm the service and spare-parts position before ordering.

Voltage, frequency and plug type drive the charger and motor specification, so they come first.

60 Hz
Type B / NEMA variants
60 Hz with a different voltage convention and NEMA plug types. Charger and motor specifications must be built for the US supply, not adapted.
