Import Tips
• Verify cylinder capacity documentation (e.g
• spec sheets) to confirm 250-1000cc range for 8407.33 compliance
• Include proof of use for Chapter 87 vehicles (go-karts, ATVs) to avoid reclassification as stationary engines
• Label engines clearly with spark-ignition type and capacity to prevent customs disputes
