Import Tips
• Verify engine power output with manufacturer specs and include test reports to confirm it falls within 746W-4,476W range for accurate classification
• Ensure documentation distinguishes from vehicle-specific engines (HTS 8407.31-8407.34) to avoid misclassification
• Label clearly as 'non-road engine' if applicable to comply with EPA/CARB emissions standards during import
