Import Tips
• Obtain original manufacturer affidavit confirming 'new' status and no prior title transfer to non-dealer
• Label GVW rating clearly; importers often overlook axle configurations affecting classification
• Prepare FMVSS compliance documentation for highway use; non-compliant vehicles may be denied entry
