Import Tips

• Verify 'used' status with documentation proving prior sale to an ultimate purchaser per statistical notes to avoid misclassification as new

• Obtain EPA certification for diesel engines and comply with emissions standards for importation into the US

• Ensure odometer readings and service history are documented to prevent undervaluation pitfalls during customs valuation
