Import Tips
• Verify engine specs (cylinder capacity ≤50cc, power <746W) with manufacturer certification to confirm HTS 8407.31.0040 classification
• Include proof of intended use for Chapter 87 vehicles (e.g
• minibikes) to avoid reclassification as general purpose engines
• Label emissions compliance (EPA/CARB) clearly; common pitfall is missing vehicle propulsion documentation leading to delays
