Import Tips
• Obtain detailed engine specs and VIN verification to avoid misclassification into higher displacement codes
• Include bill of lading specifying 'motorcycle, new' status; used units need odometer readings and title docs
• Check for side-car absence; if fitted, it remains in 8711.20 but declare separately if detachable
