Import Tips
• Submit manufacturer's GVW and hybrid certification; statistical notes require 'new' vs 'used' reporting accurately
• Comply with FMCSA bridge formula for heavy axles; common pitfall is missing axle configuration docs
• Label powertrain clearly to prevent misclassification as pure diesel
