Import Tips
• Obtain advance ruling from CBP for assemblies to confirm 'parts thereof' status vs complete steering systems
• Track origin country; some steering gears face additional tariffs under Section 301 for China-sourced goods
• Ensure no inclusion of hydraulic components, which might shift to pumps under 8413
