Import Tips
• Include battery specs and electric motor torque ratings in entry docs to prove 'as motors for propulsion' requirement
• Avoid common pitfall of bulk shipments misdeclared as parts; classify as complete vehicles only if road-ready
• Obtain advance ruling on hybrid status if propulsion integration is ambiguous
