Import Tips

• Verify electric motor certification and battery specs to confirm 'only electric motor for propulsion' classification; provide EPA/CARB compliance docs

• Ensure vehicle seating capacity documentation matches 16+ persons to avoid reclassification to lower capacity codes

• Check for NHTSA safety standards for passenger vehicles; common pitfall is missing FMVSS labels leading to customs holds
