Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide OEM certification confirming 'new' status and original assembly to prevent duty disputes

• Declare exact model specs including backhoe reach (up to 5.5m) and loader bucket size for proper valuation

• Check for country-of-origin markings; machines assembled from non-originating parts may trigger rules of origin reviews
