Import Tips
• Document exact speed count (two) with exploded diagrams; CBP often audits gear internals via X-ray
• Pair with axle and spacers declarations; incomplete kits risk parts classification under 8714.99
• Avoid bulk packaging mimicking sets; retail-ready hubs stay in parts, bulk may go to components
