Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide CAD drawings or service manuals confirming it's a half-shaft, not a full axle, during customs entry

• Label with country of origin and material composition (e.g

• steel alloy) to meet Section 301 tariff requirements

• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'CV axle' without specifying vehicle type, which can trigger reclassification
