Import Tips

• Classify the buffer spring as a part of the buffer system, not as a general spring, which would fall under Chapter 73

• The CBSA may require evidence that the spring is solely for railway use, not a general-purpose spring

• Keep documentation of the buffer system it belongs to for classification support
