Import Tips

• Verify compatibility certification for 6/12/24V systems and include OEM specs in documentation to avoid misclassification

• Obtain automotive aftermarket approvals (e.g

• SAE standards) as common pitfalls include rejection due to missing safety certifications

• Declare as vehicle parts only if not bundled with full alternator; separate entry prevents duty escalation
