Import Tips

• Include arc chute details and IP rating certifications; EV importers face scrutiny on safety standards

• Document as 'contactor' not 'solenoid'—common reclassification pitfall in automotive parts

• Ensure HS declaration matches 8536.41.00.45 suffix for contactors; use commercial invoices with test data
