Import Tips & Compliance

Verify overall length including hitch does not exceed 10.6m; measure per US Customs guidelines to avoid reclassification

Provide detailed specs on GVWR, axle ratings, and camping features in entry docs to confirm housing/camping use

Ensure DOT compliance labels and recall clearances; common pitfall is missing fire safety certifications for interiors
