Import Tips
• Provide OEM certification confirming rotary water well design; separate chassis value if over 80% complete to optimize duties
• Comply with DOT standards for truck components and include hydraulic system pressure ratings in technical files
• Avoid misdeclaration as 'oilfield equipment' which could lead to higher duties under 8430.49.50
