Import Tips
• Document maximum lifting capacity and boom reach in import declarations to distinguish from standard forklifts
• Include tire specifications (pneumatic, solid rubber) in entry docs, as tire type is key to subheading
• Avoid reclassification by proving crane is not detachable; common issue in audits for yard equipment
