Import Tips
• Provide detailed propulsion specs (diesel + electric motor) in entry docs to avoid misclassification as pure diesel
• Ensure VIN and build sheets confirm commercial goods use, not passenger conversion which could shift to 8703
• Comply with FMVSS standards for imported vehicles; non-compliance leads to holds at port
