Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify engine power output with manufacturer specs to confirm >18.65 kW classification; include test reports in documentation

• Ensure EPA/CARB emission labels are affixed for US compliance; missing labels lead to CBP holds

• Declare exact horsepower in kW equivalent on entry to avoid misclassification penalties
