Import Tips
• Verify GVW certification from manufacturer to confirm 5-20 ton range and diesel engine type for accurate HTS classification
• Obtain EPA and DOT compliance documents for engine emissions and safety standards prior to U.S. entry
• Avoid misclassification as complete truck by ensuring no cargo body is attached; declare as cab chassis only
