Import Tips
• 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
