Import Tips & Compliance
• Use manufacturer affidavits for engine cylinder verification; misstating as 6-or-fewer cylinders leads to wrong subheading
• Document non-plug-in hybrid nature to avoid 8703.60; include battery specs
• Prepare for CBP inspections on 'new' definition—title transfer history critical
