Import Tips

Verify engine displacement certification under 1,000cc and spark-ignition type to confirm classification; provide EPA/CARB emissions docs

Include vehicle identification number (VIN) and proof of 'new' status per statistical notes (not sold to end-user)

Ensure off-road features like straddle seat and handlebar controls are documented to avoid reclassification as ATVs
