Import Tips
• Submit engineering drawings showing marine-specific dimensions to distinguish from automotive rods
• Ensure HTS declaration specifies 'principal use with marine propulsion engines of 8408' for correct duty
• Watch for alloy content thresholds; over 2% specific metals may require additional metallurgical testing
