Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the bronze alloy grade and casting process to support classification
• Ensure the blade is not part of a controllable pitch system with hydraulic or electrical actuators, as those may be classified elsewhere
• Check if the blade qualifies for duty-free entry under a trade agreement by providing a certificate of origin
