Import Tips
• Submit CAD files or metallurgical test reports confirming forging to comply with 8708.99.68.10 and avoid audits
• Cross-reference with GM service parts catalog for 8703 models to document end-use during CBP entry
• Avoid declaring as 'aftermarket universal joint' without forging proof; generics often reclassified under broader 8708.99.8180
