Import Tips
• Verify GVW certification from manufacturer to confirm 8704.31.0140 classification and avoid reclassification to lighter-duty vans
• Ensure EPA/CARB emissions compliance documentation for spark-ignition engines to prevent customs delays
• Provide proof of 'new' status per statistical notes if not previously sold to end-user
