Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify the strut is for a passenger car and not for an off-highway utility vehicle, which would be classified differently

• Keep the vehicle's VIN or model details for CBSA inspection

• Consider whether the strut includes a coil spring, as that confirms it is a McPherson strut rather than a shock absorber
