Import Tips
• Verify material composition and dimensional specs match HTS criteria to avoid reclassification as parts of engines under 8409
• Obtain mill test certificates for steel alloys to ensure compliance with anti-dumping duties if applicable
• Label clearly as 'transmission shaft' and include CAD drawings for CBP review to prevent delays
