Import Tips

Confirm 'passenger car' status via seating and GVWR; kei vans may border utility vehicle lines

Include homologation certificates from Japan to support spark-ignition engine type and CC verification

Watch for right-hand drive conversions; declare accurately to prevent safety standard violations
