Import Tips
• Verify frame value exceeds $600 with commercial invoice and appraisal to qualify under this subheading; undervaluation leads to reclassification
• Ensure documentation specifies it's a bicycle frame for headings 8711-8713, not motorcycle parts, to avoid Chapter 87 mix-ups
• Comply with CPSC safety standards for bike components if destined for US retail; include material specs like carbon fiber composition
