Import Tips

Verify 'new' status with manufacturer certification showing no prior sale to ultimate purchaser to avoid reclassification as used

Provide detailed engine specs and EPA certification for diesel-electric hybrid confirmation during customs entry

Ensure VIN and build documentation matches HTS criteria for cylinder capacity over 2,500 cc to prevent audit delays
