Import Tips

• Verify engine type certification (compression-ignition only) via EPA/DOT documentation to confirm 8701.21.00 classification

• Obtain FMCSA approvals for road-legal tractors; ensure VIN matches 'new' statistical criteria if unsold to end-user

• Budget for high bond requirements due to vehicle value; common pitfall is missing axle configuration declarations
