Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify rebuild certification and hours of use via manufacturer logs to confirm 'used or rebuilt' status and avoid new classification

• Obtain detailed inspection reports on engine, hydraulics, and undercarriage to comply with CBP condition requirements

• Declare prior usage accurately; misclassification as new can lead to penalties up to 3x duties
