good luck getting someone from GM to fill it out
also most of the parts are from mexico and other countries

Its often the case a commercial invoice with 50 or so items on it will have some item of US origin
Any saving is worth having
We import out of the  US and yes there is a lot of items  that are not of us origin .
I have a set of wilwood brakes in customs at the present time this form
In  this purchase is worth $180.00 saving
 We have never had a supplier refuse to supplied this declaration
Now if buying a tremec  gear box you would be out of luck made in Mexico
Do the research and know what is being purchased.
