Before verifying the LHD/RHD configuration, first judge whether the conditions apply using destination market entry requirements, then assess the risk with actual steering wheel and lighting configuration and VIN, order and document descriptions. The steering wheel position, lighting and document descriptions must match the destination market's requirements; a wrong configuration can affect entry, registration and resale.
Beyond the steering wheel configuration, the VIN fields in the order and documents should still follow the structure defined by ISO 3779:2009. Pair this with What should buyers check in a vehicle specification sheet? on your first trial order. The LHD/RHD import check holds only for the configuration and VIN verified; re-verify after any change in model year, software or batch.
