Import Tips
• Declare exact engine displacement with manufacturer specs; Japanese kei cars often max at 660cc to meet local regs
• Obtain FMVSS equivalence documentation for US import eligibility, as subcompact size may trigger special reviews
• Avoid pitfalls by separating interchangeable tools/equipment, which classify outside Chapter 87 even if mounted
