Import Tips
• Include detailed powertrain specs in entry docs to prove dual propulsion; mislabeling causes audits
• Check for right-hand drive conversions if sourcing from Japan, as they affect regional compliance
• Obtain DOT certification for GVW and axle ratings to prevent overweight penalties during import
