So FedEx calls me saying I have to fill out the HS7 safety form for a set of headlights... Just great. Confused on what to go with... WTF :smt014

Problem fixed... called them and told them headlights were going to be cut up and used for parts, offroad use. They informed me that i don't need the form and headlights are on their way!

Really?! I had to do a customs form with my bumper with DHL, but I checked a box that it was DOT legal. Same with Brads bumper too!

I want your headlights damn it!

Ive never ran into that issue :O
It's probably going to happen next time I get a part imported

I know, right?

I think I've avoided it with rather small parts, the largest being my grille.

Nothing on my strut bar and TK spoiler. Robin, I thought you said no customs paperwork has shown up for my bumper?
