Import Tips
• Verify self-propelled status and engine specifications in documentation to confirm HTS 8433.51.0010 classification; misclassification as non-self-propelled risks re-assessment
• Obtain EPA emissions certification for diesel engines and include in entry docs to avoid customs holds on environmental compliance
• Declare full assembly status; partially assembled units may shift to parts classification under 8433.60
