Import Tips
• Verify engine compatibility certification to confirm 'marine propulsion' classification under 8407/8408 engines
• Provide material composition certificates (e.g
• steel alloy specs) to avoid misclassification as general parts
• Include manufacturer's declaration specifying sole use for marine diesel engines to prevent reclassification
