Import Tips
• Verify GVW certification from manufacturer matches 12-15 ton range; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Provide EPA/CARB emissions docs for hybrid components to avoid delays at customs
• Ensure VIN and statistical notes compliance for 'new' vs 'used' reporting to prevent penalties
