Import Tips
• Verify if the truck has self-propulsion; non-powered pallet trucks may classify under 8716.80 as hand trucks
• Include detailed specs on lifting height and load capacity in documentation to distinguish from fork-lifts
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety standards, as customs may scrutinize industrial equipment
