Import Tips

Verify the sprocket count and freewheel mechanism to confirm classification under 8714.93.70.30; single sprockets go elsewhere

Provide detailed specs like tooth ranges and bike compatibility in entry docs to avoid misclassification as complete wheels

Ensure origin labeling complies with bike part standards; common pitfall is undervaluing high-end brands like Shimano
