Import Tips
• Include brand authorization letters if importing OEM frames to prevent counterfeiting concerns at entry
• Anodized finishes don't change classification but document surface treatments for accurate value declarations
• Use chapter 98 provisions if frames qualify as American Goods Returned for warranty repairs
