Import Tips
• Prepare CBP Form 7501 with accurate HTS and value declarations; EVs often scrutinized for undervaluation
• Secure manufacturer affidavit confirming 'new' status per statistical notes to prevent higher used vehicle tariffs
• Check state-specific incentives but note federal duties apply uniformly regardless of end-use
