Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the body is explicitly for 8705 vehicles (e.g

ambulances) via manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification to 8707.90.30 for 8704 trucks

Ensure documentation includes VIN compatibility and excludes cab components, as cab-fitted chassis shift to 8702-8704

Obtain certificates of origin and steel content declarations to qualify for duty reductions under trade agreements
