Import Tips
• Verify compatibility with specific vehicle models via OEM part numbers to ensure classification as a bumper part and not a body panel
• Include detailed engineering drawings and material specs in documentation to prove it's a dedicated bumper component
• Avoid misclassification by distinguishing from chassis parts; common pitfall is grouping with general body hardware
