Import Tips
• 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
