Import Tips
• Include CAD diagrams showing mounting interface to prove suspension-specific design and avoid parts of general use classification
• Label with vehicle fitment data (e.g
• VIN compatibility) to facilitate CBP review and prevent delays
• Bundle in original manufacturer packaging to distinguish from aftermarket generic components
