Import Tips
• Verify EPA fuel economy labels and CARB certifications for US import compliance, as PHEVs require emissions testing
• Include detailed battery specifications and charging system docs to confirm plug-in capability during customs review
• Avoid misclassification as pure EV by providing engine performance data; common pitfall leads to higher duties
