Import Tips
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent safety certifications for European-origin machinery to meet U.S. import safety requirements
• Document field demonstration videos or specs proving forage-specific functions to prevent misclassification as general mowers
• Budget for specialized freight handling due to oversized dimensions; use RO-RO shipping to avoid disassembly
