Import Tips

• Verify wheel diameter, material composition (aluminum >95%), and load rating via lab certification to confirm HTS 8708.70.4548 classification

• Include DOT markings and TUV/B轮 standards in documentation; common pitfall is misclassifying as steel wheels under 8708.70.30

• Obtain EPA declarations if wheels include any coatings; ensure invoices specify 'road wheels for motor vehicles' not tractors
