Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify 'new' status per statistical notes - must not have been sold to ultimate purchaser; provide manufacturer certificate

• Ensure EPA/DOT certification for hybrid drivetrain and battery compliance

• Document cylinder count and exact engine displacement exceeding 3000cc to avoid reclassification
