Import Tips
• Verify material composition (e.g
• steel grade) and obtain mill test certificates for compliance with Buy America standards if applicable
• Ensure proper marking of country of origin; common pitfall is misclassifying as general steel castings
• Provide engineering drawings to confirm it's specifically for truck assemblies, not general undercarriage parts
