Import Tips
• Include gauge compatibility certification (e.g
• 1435mm standard) and braking system specs for customs validation
• Secure rail operator pre-approval letters to demonstrate end-use as railway coach, avoiding reclassification
• Avoid undervaluation pitfalls by declaring full OEM value including software and onboard diagnostics
