• Verify 'new' status with manufacturer certification; used vehicles shift to different statistical suffixes
• Include detailed engine specs (cylinders, displacement) in commercial invoice to avoid reclassification
• Comply with EPA emissions and NHTSA safety standards; obtain import bonds for high-value autos
