Import Tips
• Provide detailed powertrain invoice breakdown distinguishing compression-ignition from spark-ignition to prevent misclassification
• Confirm 'new' status with manufacturer affidavit; used vehicles reported differently per Chapter 87 statistical notes
• Budget for safety standard homologation; pitfall is incomplete child restraint anchor documentation
