Import Tips
• Document the conversion details and GVWR to prove it's a complete motorhome, not a van chassis under 8704
• Check for compliance with FMVSS standards specific to motor vehicles over 10,000 lbs if applicable
• Include proof of non-plug-in hybrid system to avoid reclassification to PHEV headings
