Import Tips
• Provide load rating and bolt pattern specs in entry docs to confirm classification for pickup trucks vs. heavy-duty vehicles
• Steel wheels require material content declaration; watch for anti-dumping duties on certain origins
• Avoid classifying with tires attached, as that shifts to 8708.70.45 only for wheels; tires separate under Chapter 40
