Import Tips
• Provide detailed performance specs (hp, torque, speed) to distinguish from mopeds and support 'other' classification
• Ensure side-car absence is noted, as inclusion could affect chassis-related rulings
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain electric vehicle components; declare origins accurately
