Import Tips
• Provide SAE J1401 compliance certification; lack of it often triggers FDA or NHTSA scrutiny
• Label hoses with manufacturer date codes and pressure ratings to comply with import marking requirements
• Avoid bulk packaging; individual vehicle-specific labeling reduces misclassification risks
