Import Tips
• Provide detailed technical specs confirming 360° rotation and hydraulic operation to support classification
• Include noise emission test reports as required for EU/USEPA standards on heavy construction equipment
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'parts' - complete new units must use the finished machinery heading
