Import Tips & Compliance

Include photos or diagrams of the tine assembly and hitch in shipments to distinguish from scarifiers or rakes

Certify materials (e.g

steel tines) meet US safety standards; pitfall is undervaluation based on lightweight design

Declare as 'horticultural machinery' explicitly to avoid general 'garden tool' misclassification
