Import Tips
• Verify GVW certification from manufacturer matches 12-15 ton range; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Ensure EPA/CARB emissions compliance documentation for diesel engines to avoid customs holds
• Provide proof of 'new' status per statistical notes if not previously sold to end-user
