Import Tips
• Verify the crane is integral to the truck chassis and self-propelled on pneumatic tires to confirm HTS 8426.41.00.05 classification
• Provide detailed engineering specs and photos showing tire mounting and crane integration during customs entry to avoid misclassification
• Ensure compliance with OSHA lifting capacity certifications and load charts, as common pitfalls include undervaluation of crane boom length
