Import Tips
• Measure rim diameter precisely (>43.18 cm but ≤45.72 cm) and document with photos/specs to avoid duty recalculation
• For racing car variants, confirm 'motor cars including racing cars' scope but exclude pure track-only tires if applicable
• Prepare for EPA fuel efficiency labeling requirements on imports destined for U.S. retail
