Import Tips
• Verify engine displacement with manufacturer specs (50-250cc) and include propulsion vehicle compatibility docs to confirm Chapter 87 use
• Ensure EPA/CARB emissions labeling for US imports; non-compliant engines face detention or penalties
• Obtain bill of lading specifying 'vehicle propulsion engine' to avoid misclassification as stationary equipment
