Import Tips
• Include original bill of lading specifying 'new' condition and model details for accurate HTS verification
• Check for country-of-origin rules; many Asian manufacturers qualify for GSP duty reductions
• Avoid pitfalls by confirming no custom modifications that could reclassify as parts under 8431
