Import Tips

• Verify bumper material composition (e.g

• polypropylene) via lab testing for accurate HTS classification and fiber/plastic content declarations

• Include engineering drawings and vehicle compatibility specs in documentation to prove it's a part for motor vehicles in 8701-8705

• Avoid misclassification as trailer bumpers (8716); check for DOT markings and ensure no retail packaging that might trigger GRI 3 rules
