Import Tips
• Confirm aluminum alloy composition via material test certificates to ensure proper valuation and duty assessment
• Label shipments clearly as 'bumper stampings' with vehicle model compatibility to prevent customs disputes
• Avoid classifying with finished assemblies; separate stampings reduce duties compared to complete bumpers
