Import Tips & Compliance

Provide assembly diagrams showing integration with self-propelled carrier to distinguish from mere attachments

Ensure country-of-origin markings on both breaker and carrier components for proper valuation

Watch for reclassification risks if marketed primarily as excavator upgrades rather than rock-specific breakers
