Import Tips
• Verify the hub's material composition is primarily aluminum alloy via mill test certificates to confirm HTS 8714.93.05.00 classification
• Include detailed technical specs and photos in entry documentation to distinguish from steel hubs or coaster braking types
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no drum brakes are integrated, as those would shift to other hub subheadings
