Import Tips

Verify the vehicle's hybrid system is non-plug-in rechargeable to confirm classification under 8703.40.00; provide engineering specs if audited

Ensure EPA fuel economy labels and emissions certifications are included in documentation for U.S. customs clearance

Report as 'new' only if unsold to end-user; used vehicles require proof of prior title transfer per statistical notes
