Import Tips
• Verify engine displacement certificate from manufacturer to confirm 50-250cc range for HTS 8711.20.00 classification
• Ensure EPA and DOT compliance labels are affixed; missing certifications can lead to customs holds
• Declare as 'new' only if unsold by dealer; used bikes require proof of prior ownership transfer
