Import Tips
• Label pads with friction material type (ceramic/semi-metallic) to comply with EPA regulations on copper content
• Provide test reports for stopping distance to meet FMVSS 135 standards during customs inspection
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'universal'—specify vehicle fitment to prevent reclassification
