Import Tips
• Provide engineering drawings showing 8705 compatibility (e.g
• ambulance fixtures) to prevent misclassification as a 8704 van body
• Comply with FMVSS standards documentation for safety features in medical transport bodies
• Avoid common pitfalls by separating cab components in shipments, as combined chassis-cab units classify under 8704
