Import Tips
• Verify engine net power certification from manufacturer to confirm >257.4 kW classification; provide EPA or equivalent docs
• Include statistical reporting as 'new' per HTS notes—no prior sale to end-user
• Ensure agricultural suitability proof (e.g
• no industrial mods) to avoid reclassification
