Import Tips
• Document the end-use for airport short-distance transport to distinguish from general industrial wheels
• Label assemblies clearly as 'non-marking solid tire for works trucks' to prevent reclassification as toy or bike parts
• Check for FMVSS exemptions since these are not highway vehicles; include safety certifications
