Import Tips
• Submit OEM assembly records proving 'new' status and no prior title transfer to non-dealer entities
• Label propulsion specs clearly; misstating as diesel-only common error leading to 8701.21 codes
• Ensure no interchangeable working tools mounted, as they classify separately per chapter notes
