Import Tips
• Verify compatibility with specific vehicle models via VIN or OEM specs to ensure classification as a motor vehicle part
• Provide detailed technical specs and diagrams in entry documentation to confirm it's a muffler, not a custom racing part
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain stainless steel imports; declare material composition accurately
