Import Tips
• Verify the chassis GVWR exceeds 33,000 lbs to confirm heading 8704 compatibility and avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed engine specs and VIN precursors in documentation to prove 'new' status per statistical notes
• Ensure no cab is fitted, as cabbed chassis shift to headings 8702-8704
