Import Tips
• 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
