Import Tips
• Conduct material testing for alloy content to comply with HTS statistical requirements and avoid duty disputes
• Use ISPM-15 certified packaging for wooden crates to prevent quarantine issues on brake imports
• Avoid misdeclaring as 'universal' brakes, which could lead to 8714.94.80 for non-cycle use
