Verify engine specs and hybrid system type with manufacturer's documentation to confirm non-plug-in status and cylinder capacity under 1,500 cc

Obtain EPA and DOT certifications early; used vehicles require proof of prior sale to ultimate purchaser per statistical notes

Avoid misclassification as plug-in hybrids (8703.80) by providing battery charging details
