Import Tips
• Document fuel system type (carbureted vs
• EFI) for accurate statistical reporting under .40 suffix
• Require manufacturer's declaration of conformity for emissions; pitfall is importing without CARB EO number
• Separate bagging kits in shipment to prevent set classification under other machinery headings
