Import Tips

Verify classification under statistical note 4 by providing documentation proving use in semiconductor manufacturing or testing environments

Ensure electric motor specifications and self-propelled features are detailed in commercial invoices to avoid misclassification as non-aerial equipment

Comply with OSHA and ANSI standards for aerial platforms; common pitfalls include incomplete safety certification leading to customs holds
