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
