Import Tips
• Document spring type explicitly in commercial docs to distinguish from non-spring variants in adjacent subheadings
• Ensure no fittings attached if claiming any special rates, per notes on tubes/hoses (analogous scrutiny)
• Batch imports by value tiers to avoid commingling with higher/lower gross value goods
