Import Tips

Verify the flasher is certified for automotive use (e.g

SAE J551) and include test reports in documentation to avoid reclassification

Label clearly as 'automotive signaling flasher' with voltage specs (≤60V) to match HTS 8536.41.00.05; common pitfall is missing origin certificates for preferential tariffs

Ensure packaging specifies vehicle compatibility to prevent customs disputes over end-use
