Import Tips
• Verify steel composition meets HTS requirements with mill test certificates to avoid reclassification as alloy steel parts
• Include OEM part numbers and vehicle compatibility in commercial invoices for CBP valuation and origin determination
• Ensure stampings are not pre-assembled with plastics or electronics, as that could shift to finished bumper classification
