Import Tips
• Provide CAD drawings showing frame-to-shell mating surfaces to substantiate luggage-specific classification
• Declare exact alloy series (typically 6061 or 6063) to comply with Chapter 76 aluminum alloy definitions
• Consider bonded warehouse entry for frames awaiting shell import to optimize cash flow and duty deferral
