Import Tips
• Verify product is explicitly for non-metal coachwork surfaces to avoid reclassification as metal polish under 3405.40
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and composition details to confirm exclusion from heading 3404 waxes
• Label clearly as 'for automotive paint surfaces only' to prevent CBP scrutiny
