Import Tips
• Verify the chassis is explicitly for 8704.21 or 8704.31 vehicles via manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed engineering drawings and end-use certificates to customs for proper valuation and duty assessment
• Ensure no cab is fitted, as cab-equipped chassis shift to headings 8702-8704 per chapter notes
