Import Tips
• Include fire service certifications and load specs to confirm 8705 end-use and avoid 8707.90.60 classification
• Declare material composition (e.g
• aluminum vs steel) accurately for correct duty assessment
• Ship bodies unmounted to maintain 8707 classification; mounting shifts to complete vehicle headings
