Import Tips
• Provide detailed parts diagrams and service manuals to demonstrate it's a standalone engine, not a vehicle part
• Ensure noise emission data for compliance with local regulations; pitfall is failing to declare as 'non-road' engine
• Label with country of origin and serial numbers per 19 CFR 134 to prevent valuation disputes
