Import Tips
• Certify material composition meets polymer notes for polyurethane predominance to avoid reclassification to 'other' polymers
• Pair with OEM specs showing brake system compatibility for vehicles like 8701.21 tractors
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; declare as vehicle-specific to leverage potential free rates under US notes
