Import Tips
• Verify the tractor meets 'single axle' criteria with no dual rear axles; provide engineering specs and photos for CBP review
• Include manufacturer's declaration confirming it's new (unsold to end-user) per statistical notes for accurate reporting
• Ensure no mounted working tools are included, as they must be classified separately even if presented with the tractor
