Import Tips
• Label with exact machinery model compatibility (e.g
• Caterpillar 950) to substantiate heading 8429 use
• Conduct material composition testing for ductile iron to comply with HTS casting requirements
• Avoid common pitfall of missing OEM part numbers, which CBP uses to confirm principal use
