Import Tips
• Label with exact vehicle fitment (year/make/model) to prevent customs disputes over automotive vs general engine use
• Ensure advance curve specifications are documented to distinguish from basic mechanical distributors
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying with ignition coils—distributors are separate under 8511.30
