Import Tips
• Confirm the vehicle's security modifications do not affect its classification as a motor vehicle for transporting persons; if it includes special-purpose equipment, it may still fall under 8703.33.00
• Provide the engine displacement and VIN to the CBSA to expedite clearance
• Check if the vehicle is eligible for temporary importation if used by a foreign law enforcement agency
