Import Tips
• Verify material specs (e.g
• FKM, Viton) match automotive standards like SAE J200 to avoid reclassification
• Include OEM part numbers and vehicle compatibility certifications in documentation for CBP review
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Asian-origin rubber seals; declare country of origin accurately
