Thank you.

I wonder if it looks bomb-like on the x-ray.

Got the shipping refund from UPS. (Shipstation)

We're going to switch to USPS. Are HS codes still required for non-commercial? (Private)

For description, would "Auto electrical part" be OK?

I just received an order from Summit parts in the US. A set of valve springs.

Code was 840991
“Part for spark-ignition combustion eng”

Shipping label “desc1” : “MISC AUTO PARTS”

Thanks. Can an alternator be considered as "miscellaneous"?

Google then shows...............

The Harmonized System (HS) code for a 12-volt alternator is 8511.40.0000.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
85
- Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles.
8511
- Electric ignition or starting equipment, including glow plugs and spark plugs, and parts thereof.
8511.40
- Starter motors and dual-purpose starter-generators for internal combustion engines.
8511.40.0000
- Starter motors and dual-purpose starter-generators for internal combustion engines.

Update:

Finally received the package today.
Only took 4 days which is the fastest shipment I've ever experienced (from CA to the UK)

Shipper was USPS (directly). Incidentally, the form did not ask for any HS codes so we left that out.



The failed first attempt (UPS) was booked through Shipstation, so I wonder that if that was the cause of rejection?
