Import Tips

Verify vehicle is classified as 'new' per statistical notes if never sold to end-user; used vehicles require different reporting

Ensure EPA and DOT certifications for emissions and safety standards are documented prior to import

Confirm cylinder capacity documentation matches ≤1,000 cc to avoid misclassification into higher capacity subheadings
