Import Tips
• Provide battery safety certifications (UN38.3) and EMSA compliance for lithium-ion packs common in e-scooters
• Label products clearly with power rating and model; mismatches lead to CBP holds
• Watch for side-car attachments—those require separate side-car classification under 8711.40
