Import Tips
• Verify engine power output with manufacturer specs to confirm it does not exceed 37.3 kW for this subheading
• Provide documentation proving intended installation in agricultural or horticultural machinery to avoid reclassification
• Ensure EPA or CARB emissions compliance labels are affixed, as diesel engines for ag use often face environmental scrutiny
