Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify rebuild certification and obtain detailed service history to prove 'used or rebuilt' status and avoid new equipment classification

• Ensure EPA or equivalent emission compliance documentation for the engine, as used heavy machinery often faces strict environmental import rules

• Inspect for structural integrity and hydraulic leaks during customs; common pitfalls include incomplete refurbishment records leading to reclassification
