Import Tips
• Provide engineering specs showing mounting points match washer tubs to confirm part status over general dampers
• Bundle with invoices listing compatible model numbers to prevent reclassification as automotive shocks
• Ensure anti-dumping compliance if sourced from high-risk countries like China or Vietnam
