Import Tips
• Submit detailed propulsion specs showing integrated spark-ignition and electric motors to customs for accurate dual-motor classification
• Label as 'cargo van' with photos evidencing minimal or no rear seating to affirm goods transport purpose
• Comply with FMVSS safety standards; common pitfall is missing VIN and manufacturer plate verification
