Import Tips

• Verify bucket capacity certification from manufacturer to confirm it falls within 2.9-3.8 m3 range for accurate HTS classification

• Obtain EPA and CARB emissions compliance documents as diesel engines in these loaders must meet U.S. standards

• Avoid misclassification as track-type by ensuring import docs specify wheel-type and 4-wheel drive configuration
