Import Tips
• Provide OEM part numbers and vehicle model cross-references to confirm applicability to 8702-8703 headings
• Ensure burst pressure ratings exceed FMVSS 106 standards; include test certificates to avoid CBP scrutiny
• Label hoses clearly with 'Brake Hose' and material specs to prevent misclassification as general tubing
