Import Tips
• Document special coatings (DLC, etc.) with technical data sheets for marine durability justification
• Require supplier affidavits confirming 'not for automotive use' to support marine-specific tariff
• Customs often challenges outboard parts; maintain engine installation photos as backup evidence
