Import Tips
• Provide CAD files or OEM part numbers to confirm classification as a vehicle-specific aluminum stamping
• Ensure no plastic or rubber attachments are included, as that would reclassify to assembled bumpers
• Comply with USMCA rules of origin for aluminum content if sourcing from North America
