• Product details (such as subdivided product lines, quantity, surface treatment, color, capacity, etc.);
• Product brand and special identification (such as whether it is an assembly or component, key functional uses, etc.);
• Only one main model or manufacturer name is required. The remaining model information should be displayed through the model adaptation table, and the OE number should be filled in the Item Specifics section.

The vehicle model adaptation table is extremely important for automobile and motorcycle parts products. It is usually one of the key factors for such products to obtain traffic.
