8716.31.00.00Lower: 37.5% vs 54%

Import Tips & Compliance

• Submit OEM assembly records proving 'new' status and no prior title transfer to non-dealer entities

• Label propulsion specs clearly; misstating as diesel-only common error leading to 8701.21 codes

• Ensure no interchangeable working tools mounted, as they classify separately per chapter notes
