Import Tips
• Label parts with exact vehicle fitment (e.g
• Ford F-150) to avoid reclassification during customs inspection
• Ensure shock absorbers meet DOT or ECE standards; include test reports to demonstrate compliance
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Chinese-origin shocks; source from qualifying countries for better rates
