Import Tips
• Maintain bill of materials showing complete engine assembly vs parts to prevent part-level classification
• For remanufactured engines, provide rebuild certification to qualify for potential duty reductions
• Check for Section 301 tariffs on Asian-sourced components; value engine origin correctly
