Import Tips

Verify compatibility with specific umbrella models in headings 6601/6602 to confirm part status; generic metal rods may shift to Chapter 73

Provide engineering diagrams or photos showing fitment to avoid classification as mere scrap metal

Ensure no textile components are included, as those classify separately per Chapter Note to 6603
