Import Tips
• Verify engine compatibility certification to prove 'solely or principally' use with 8407/8408 engines for vehicle subheadings 8701.21-8704
• Include material test reports (e.g
• tensile strength) and OEM part numbers in documentation to avoid misclassification as general machinery parts
