Import Tips
• Verify engine power rating and ensure it qualifies as marine propulsion, not stationary, with EPA/CARB emissions certification
• Include detailed technical specs, serial numbers, and proof of spark-ignition reciprocating design in documentation
• Avoid misclassification as parts by importing fully assembled units; watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Asian manufacturers
