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
