Import Tips
• Verify the hub is explicitly three-speed and not a coaster brake model to avoid misclassification under 8714.93.10
• Include technical specs and exploded diagrams in documentation to prove internal gear mechanism and speed count
• Check for country-of-origin marking requirements on bicycle parts; failure can lead to penalties
