Import Tips
• Label as 'motor home' on commercial invoice with detailed specs on living quarters to prevent reclassification
• Comply with FMVSS safety standards; include certification labels for braking and lighting systems
• Watch for state-of-completion issues; fully assembled units only qualify, not kits
