Import Tips
• Verify engine specs confirm spark-ignition reciprocating design and intended use in ag/hort machinery via manufacturer docs to avoid reclassification
• Include installation intent declaration; engines for micro-tractors may shift to 8407.90.10.40
• Ensure EPA/CARB emissions labeling compliance for US imports to prevent customs holds
