Import Tips

• Verify alloy composition meets copper-zinc base alloy definition (zinc predominant, nickel <5%, tin <3%) with mill certificates to avoid reclassification

• Provide vehicle compatibility documentation linking to HTS 8701/8702-8705 to confirm brake hose application and prevent duty disputes

• Ensure fittings are not assembled into hoses; completed assemblies may shift to Chapter 87 headings
