Import Tips
• Include port authority certifications and load capacity tests to validate container-handling classification
• Declare exact tire type (solid rubber vs pneumatic) as it affects 'on tires' determination
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing by separating boom assembly; import as complete unit
