Import Tips
• 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
