Import Tips
• Provide OEM vehicle compatibility certificates to prove 'of a kind used for propulsion of Chapter 87 vehicles' classification
• Check for anti-tampering seals on emissions equipment; violations trigger penalties under EPA rules
• Declare exact power output in kW with test data to avoid disputes on the 'exceeding 18.65 kW' criterion
