Import Tips

• Verify the bucket is explicitly designed for dragline machinery of heading 8430 to avoid reclassification; provide engineering specs and OEM compatibility certificates

• Check for anti-dumping duties on steel components from certain origins

• Ensure proper marking of country of origin as these are capital goods
