Import Tips & Compliance

Verify material composition (e.g

cast iron vs steel) and engine compatibility for accurate classification and customs valuation

Include engineering drawings and OEM part numbers in documentation to prove it's a flywheel, not a pulley or gear

Check for anti-dumping duties on flywheels from specific countries like China; obtain binding rulings if dual-use as pulley
