If designed as a replacement part for aftermarket retail sale
Aftermarket parts not integral to original suspension systems may shift to 'other parts and accessories' subheading.
If classified primarily as a hydraulic or pneumatic linear actuator

Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain certificates of origin for duty reductions under USMCA or other FTAs, as suspension components often qualify
