Import Tips
• Submit funeral industry certifications and photos evidencing hearse-specific features like coffin rails to justify classification
• Ensure 'new' status documentation if from manufacturer; used vehicles require title transfer proof per statistical notes
• Comply with DOT standards for vehicle safety; watch for reclassification if sold as multi-purpose van
