Import Tips
• Label with exact alloy specs and pressure ratings; non-compliance risks reclassification to general copper fittings
• Include engineering drawings showing brake hose integration to substantiate Chapter 74 over Chapter 87 classification
• Avoid bulk packaging resembling parts for assembly; retail-ready units better support fitting status
