Import Tips & Compliance

Verify engine emissions compliance with EPA/CARB standards and obtain necessary certifications before import

Ensure detailed technical specs including bucket capacity and drive type are documented to match HTS 8429.51.1055 criteria

Avoid misclassification as smaller loaders by providing OEM bucket volume certification; common pitfall is under-declaring capacity
