Import Tips
• Verify sprayer capacity and pump type (manual vs. electric) to confirm agricultural classification and avoid reclassification as industrial equipment
• Include detailed product specs and end-use certification to prove horticultural use, preventing duties under general machinery chapters
• Ensure compliance with EPA labeling for pesticide sprayers; missing labels can lead to customs holds
