Import Tips
• Use metallurgical analysis reports to prove cast iron, as alloys may trigger steel or other material codes
• Declare exact vehicle fitment (e.g
• Honda Civic) to support 8703 classification over generic parts
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial use, which could shift to non-retail provisions
