Import Tips
• Provide VGT actuator test reports; actuators can trigger scrutiny for hybrid pump classifications
• Comply with CARB certifications for California imports; non-compliant turbos face seizures
• Avoid declaring as 'exhaust component'; emphasize compressor function to maintain correct HTS
