Import Tips
• Verify compatibility with specific truck models via VIN or chassis specs to ensure correct HTS classification
• Include engineering drawings and material certifications to prove it's a body, not a complete vehicle or part
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on steel imports; declare exact alloy composition accurately
