Import Tips
• Provide plating thickness specs and base steel certification to confirm it remains a Chapter 73 steel article, not a plated composite
• Ensure torque ratings are documented for automotive safety compliance; pitfall is reclassification if torque exceeds standard limits
• Use HS description 'chrome lugnuts for passenger vehicles' on invoices to match 7318.16.0045 exactly
