Import Tips

• 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
