Import Tips
• Verify compatibility with specific 8704 truck models via OEM specs to avoid misclassification as parts
• Obtain material composition certificates (e.g
• steel grade) for duty rate confirmation and anti-dumping checks
• Ensure bodies are imported without axles or cabs to prevent reclassification under 8704
