Instructions

Part 1: Importer

For section A, enter the name of the company responsible for importing the product(s).
For section B, enter the 9-digit business number.
For sections C, D and E, enter the importer’s contact information.

Part 2: Imported products information

If the engine is not installed in or on a machine at the time of importation, enter the information under “Engine”. Do not enter anything under “Machine” for this row.

If the engine is installed in or on a machine at the time of importation, enter the information under “Engine” and “Machine”.

For the engine or machine make, model, model year, and emission family, look at the label, or contact the manufacturer.

Manufacturer: the company that made the engine or machine.

Make: the brand of the engine or machine, this may be the same as the manufacturer or a different brand.

Model: the commercial name given by the manufacturer to identify the product.

Model year: the year used by the manufacturer for the time of production.

Emission families: a 12-digit alphanumerical code that a manufacturer uses for engines when applying for certification with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This code can be found on the U.S. emission control information label affixed to the engine or on the EPA Certificate of Conformity. A similar code also exists for engines that are offered for sale in Canada but not in the United States (for example, not EPA certified). An engine with a complete fuel system may have exhaust/engine and evaporative families. Both emission families must be declared.

Machine type: the name that refers to the use of the machine. For examples, look at the types of regulated products but can also include but not limited to: lawnmowers, string trimmers, snow blowers, generators, pumps, mixers, chain saws, chippers/shredders, pressure washers and log splitters.
