Import Tips
• Verify compatibility with vehicle frame mounts and ensure DOT-compliant labeling if for highway use
• Provide engineering specs confirming cable-based traction mechanism to avoid reclassification as general machinery
• Include installation instructions and safety certifications to prevent customs holds on vehicle safety parts
