Import Tips
• Submit OEM hybrid system documentation proving external charging capability to confirm subheading eligibility
• Label as 'new' only if unsold by dealer; prior demo use may trigger 'used' reporting under statistical notes
• Comply with FMVSS safety standards and include certification to avoid holds on high-value luxury imports
