Import Tips
• Classify based on primary function (digging) even if multi-purpose to stay in correct heading
• Include cab safety certification (ROPS/FOPS) documentation for operator protection compliance
• Watch for misdeclaration as 'mini' equipment - all new revolving backhoes use this code regardless of size
