Import Tips
• Include forklift compatibility specs and installation manuals to prove it's weighing machinery, not a vehicle part
• Certify load cell accuracy to meet OIML or NTEP standards for legal-for-trade use
• Avoid bundling with forklift to prevent classification as a complete vehicle under Chapter 87
