Import Tips
• Verify the machine is classified as 'new' with manufacturer certification to qualify under 8429.59.5060; used units shift to other subheadings
• Ensure EPA emissions compliance documentation for diesel engines to avoid customs delays
• Provide detailed specs confirming it's not semiconductor-specific to prevent misclassification under statistical notes
