Import Tips

• Verify the machine is new and includes original manufacturer certification to avoid reclassification as used equipment

• Ensure EPA emissions compliance documentation for the diesel engine, as non-compliant units face additional penalties

• Declare exact superstructure rotation (360°) and attachment type (backhoe) in entry docs to prevent misclassification
