Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide detailed technical datasheet confirming crankshaft power output; discrepancies with declared kW rating trigger audits

• Ensure engine serial number matches import docs; marine engines often require coast guard type approval certificates

• Avoid classifying with heat exchanger as 'parts'; complete propulsion engines must declare full assembly value
