Import Tips

• Verify the cable is explicitly for caliper or cantilever brakes with documentation like manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification

• Ensure cross-sectional dimensions do not exceed 16 mm per Chapter 73 wire definition; provide engineering drawings if audited

• Label as bicycle brake components only; bundling with non-brake parts may trigger set classification issues
