Import Tips
• Verify the panel incorporates active LCD/LED elements for signaling, not just decorative lighting, to confirm 8531.20.00 classification
• Include automotive safety certifications like ECE R10 or FMVSS in documentation to avoid customs delays
• Check for country-of-origin marking requirements as vehicle parts often face additional scrutiny
