Import Tips

Verify engine power rating with manufacturer specs to confirm under 37.3 kW; exceedance shifts to higher subheadings

Include installation intent declaration in entry docs to prove ag/hort use; agricultural machinery certificates aid customs

Check EPA/CARB emission labels for compliance; missing labels cause holds or reclassification
