Import Tips
• Verify compliance with DOT standards for road-legal chassis if intended for highway use in the US
• Include detailed engineering specs and end-use certificates to avoid misclassification as general trucks under 8704
• Ensure EPA emissions compliance for the diesel engine; common pitfall is overlooking state-specific regulations
