Import Tips

Verify battery specifications confirm 'starting piston engines' use and exclude truck classifications to avoid reclassification under 8507.10.00.40

Include detailed technical datasheets showing lead-acid chemistry, CCA ratings, and BCI group size for Customs valuation and origin certification

Label batteries with UN 2794 hazmat markings and ensure proper spill-proof packaging to prevent common import delays from safety inspections
