Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify 'new' vs 'used' status per statistical notes; new vehicles must not have been sold beyond manufacturer/dealer chain

• Ensure EPA/DOT compliance for emissions and safety standards; small engines may qualify for exemptions but require certification

• Provide detailed VIN, engine specs, and proof of cylinder capacity ≤1,000cc to avoid misclassification into higher CC headings
