Import Tips
• Obtain official engine spec documentation; minor measurement variances can trigger reclassification
• Ensure FMVSS 123 compliance for lighting and braking; non-compliant bikes face CBP holds
• Declare as 'new' per statistical notes if unsold by dealer; used bikes require title transfer proof
