Import Tips
• Verify engine net power certification from manufacturer meets 119.4-194 kW range using ISO 25303 standards to avoid reclassification
• Ensure 'new' status documentation proves no prior sale to end-user, as per statistical notes for HTS 8701
• Separate any mounted implements for individual classification to prevent over-duty on the tractor
