• Label products clearly as 'automotive parts' with OEM part numbers to support vehicle-specific classification
• Obtain supplier declarations confirming aluminum purity to prevent reclassification as alloyed steel
• Beware of common pitfalls like insufficient proof of motor vehicle end-use, leading to higher general hardware duties
