Import Tips
• Verify GVW certification from manufacturer to confirm 9-12 ton range; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Provide EPA/CARB emissions docs for diesel-electric hybrids to avoid delays at customs
• Ensure VIN and propulsion specs match HTS for dual-motor confirmation; single-engine variants shift to 8704.23
