Import Tips
• Verify material composition with lab certification to confirm cast iron content over 99% iron alloy
• Include detailed engineering drawings in documentation to prove it's a transmission part, not an engine component
• Avoid misclassification as unfinished castings by ensuring it's machined for gear box assembly
