Import Tips & Compliance

Verify engine cylinder capacity documentation (50-250cc) and confirm vehicle compatibility with specified Chapter 87 subheadings

Include OEM specifications and installation instructions to prove propulsion purpose and avoid reclassification as general purpose engines

Ensure EPA/CARB emissions certification for US imports; common pitfall is missing vehicle-specific labeling
