Import Tips
• Verify compliance with AAR or UIC standards for interchangeability and safety certifications required by importing countries
• Obtain railway authority approvals and provide detailed engineering drawings as part of import documentation
• Avoid misclassification by confirming the coach is not equipped with propulsion systems, which would shift it to heading 8604
