Import Tips
• Verify compatibility with specific vehicle subheadings (8701.21-8701.29, 8702-8705, 8711) via manufacturer specs to avoid misclassification
• Include DOT certification and pressure test documentation; common pitfall is missing FMVSS 106 compliance markings
• Declare exact fittings material (e.g
• steel, brass) as it affects valuation but not heading
