Import Tips

Verify the fitting is explicitly for brake hoses of vehicles in 8701.21-8701.29 or 8702-8705/8711 to qualify under this subheading; otherwise, it may shift to general fittings

Include detailed engineering specs and vehicle compatibility certificates in documentation to prove end-use compliance
