Import Tips
• Document operator type (walk-behind vs ride-on) clearly, as ride-on models risk shifting to 8427.10
• Provide load charts and stability test certifications to prove compliance with works truck standards
• Check for battery type (lead-acid vs lithium-ion) as it affects hazardous material declarations
