Import Tips
• Verify compliance with USDA import regulations for agricultural machinery, including phytosanitary certificates if residue is present
• Provide detailed technical specs and operator manuals to confirm classification as a planter, not a harvester or general tractor
• Check for EPA emissions standards on diesel engines to prevent customs holds on environmental compliance
