Import Tips
• Provide engineering drawings highlighting straddle seat and handlebar to differentiate from locked-tilt scooters
• Ensure 'new' vehicle status documentation; used vehicles require separate reporting per statistical notes
• Check for country-of-origin rules; partial assembly may trigger chassis classification issues
