Import Tips
• Verify G.V.W. certification from manufacturer does not exceed 2.5 metric tons to avoid reclassification to higher weight subheadings
• Provide EPA/CARB emissions certificates and hybrid system documentation to confirm dual propulsion for Chapter 87 compliance
• Ensure no passenger seating configurations; enclosed cargo area must predominate to prevent shift to passenger vehicle headings
