Import Tips
• Include test reports showing fog-clearing performance within vehicle temperature ranges for customs validation
• Declare as 'replacement part' with vehicle fitment data to prevent general parts classification
• Avoid common error of classifying with mirrors; heating function dictates electrical parts heading
