Import Tips

• Verify that all modular units are entered together with assembly instructions to qualify as prefabricated buildings; obtain structural engineering certifications for compliance with US building codes

• Common pitfall: misclassifying as mere metal structures without proving prefabricated intent

• Ensure documentation shows factory pre-fitting to avoid reclassification
