Import Tips
• Verify the jack's rated capacity and ensure it meets ANSI/ALI ALJTS-2 safety standards for vehicle service jacks
• Include detailed technical specs like stroke length and collapsed height in import documentation to confirm vehicle-raising purpose
• Avoid common pitfalls by distinguishing from industrial hydraulic jacks; test reports proving vehicle use aid Customs review
