Import Tips
• Verify nut dimensions and thread pitch match M12 standards to avoid misclassification as general nuts under 7318.16.00
• Include material certificates confirming carbon steel composition to comply with Chapter 73 notes on iron or steel articles
• Label shipments clearly as 'automotive lugnuts' to prevent customs confusion with industrial nuts; common pitfall is undervaluation
