Import Tips
• Ensure the casting is truly unfinished (no final machining) to qualify for this tariff item; further processing may change classification
• Keep records of the alloy composition and the specific engine model it is designed for, as CBSA may request this to verify end-use
• Consider whether the bell housing could be classified as a transmission part if it includes additional components
