Import Tips
• Label kits clearly as 'distributor contact sets' with engine compatibility to avoid general parts classification
• Maintain invoices showing value separation for points vs. condenser for accurate duty calculation
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial rather than engine-specific use
