Certification on a Utensil That Does Not Require Immersion

Question

Is it possible to rely on a certification from China regarding the immersion of an electrical appliance?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

The ruling of our teacher, Rabbi Amram Fried shlita, is that one should not rely on this completely. Therefore, ideally one should immerse it without a blessing; however, if there is an urgent need to use it and one cannot immerse it immediately, [such as on Friday afternoon before Shabbat], one may use it and immerse it afterward.
