• Confirm shaft orientation (horizontal/vertical) matches import declarations as it affects equipment compatibility verification
• Include OEM installation manuals showing ag/hort applications to distinguish from general-purpose engines
• Test for oil leaks and pressure prior to shipment; common rejection cause at inspection
