Import Tips
• Import the flatcar and its cover together as a single unit to qualify for classification under 8606.91.00; importing the cover separately may lead to different classification
• Clearly document the cover's attachment mechanism and material in the customs declaration
• If the cover is not included, the flatcar may be classified as an open wagon, so plan your shipment accordingly
