Import Tips
• Verify material composition (e.g
• steel vs aluminum) with mill certificates to confirm Chapter 87 classification
• Include detailed CAD drawings or blueprints in documentation to prove it's a body stamping, not a finished part
• Avoid misclassification as trim by ensuring no painting or accessories are attached
