Verify compatibility with specific vehicle models via OEM specs to ensure correct classification under suspension parts

Provide detailed engineering drawings and material composition certificates to customs for 'other' part validation

Avoid misclassification as complete assemblies by importing individually packaged units, not mounted strut sets
