Import Tips

Verify tractor hitch compatibility (e.g

Category II or III) and include technical specs in import documentation to confirm classification as agricultural machinery

Obtain USDA or APHIS clearance if residues from prior use could affect soil import rules; declare as clean equipment

Avoid misclassification as parts by importing fully assembled with frame and discs; provide user manual proving soil preparation function
