Import Tips

• Verify vehicle modification certifications from manufacturers confirming ambulance specifications to avoid reclassification as standard cargo vans

• Include EPA/DOT compliance documentation for diesel emissions and safety standards; common pitfall is missing medical equipment inventory lists

• Obtain special import permits for emergency vehicles and ensure chassis cab modifications are declared separately if applicable
