Import Tips
• Verify aluminum alloy composition meets HTS requirements via material certificates to avoid reclassification
• Include vehicle-specific engineering drawings in documentation to prove fitment for motor vehicles of 8701-8705
• Avoid common pitfalls like declaring as finished bumpers; stampings must lack paint or attachments
