Import Tips
• Provide law enforcement specs, ballistic ratings, and cell configurations to Customs for verification
• Declare accurately as 'new' per chapter notes; include VIN and manufacturer affidavit
• Avoid bulk import pitfalls by ensuring each unit has dedicated prison fittings, not general cargo
