Import Tips
• Document end-use as non-automotive to avoid scrutiny for 4009.22 (motor vehicle use)
• Confirm no reinforcement via cross-section analysis; steel wire spirals disqualify from 4009.12
• Label fittings material accurately; mismatches can lead to separate classification under Chapter 73/76
