Import Tips
• Specify deck height from rail (e.g
• 30-36 inches) in docs to confirm low-profile without depressed center misclassification
• Avoid common error of listing as 'platform' without HTS details, risking 8608 track gear categorization
• Secure FRA (Federal Railroad Administration) safety data sheets for import clearance
