Import Tips
• Provide EU type-approval certificates alongside US FMVSS compliance statements for high-value imports
• Inspect for flood/salvage damage common in used imports; declare battery health to prevent undervaluation penalties
• Use ISF filing 24 hours prior; diesel hybrids often flagged for emissions testing
