Import Tips

• Verify CE marking or equivalent safety certifications for electric motors and autonomous navigation systems to meet OSHA and EU machinery directives

• Include detailed technical specs on load capacity, battery type, and guidance system in commercial invoices to avoid misclassification as non-AGV trucks

• Ensure EPA compliance for battery disposal documentation if lithium-ion batteries exceed certain capacities to prevent customs delays
