Import Tips & Compliance

Provide usage hour logs and maintenance records to prove 'used' status and prevent disputes over new machinery tariffs

Calculate duties based on rebuild costs only if fully documented; otherwise, full depreciated value applies

Inspect for asbestos in older European models and obtain certifications before U.S. entry
