Import Tips
• Include photos and inspection reports showing track condition and overall usage to support used valuation and customs appraisal
• Separate any subsidiary provisions for tools/seeds if present, as chapter notes exclude them from tractor classification
• Beware of reimport after repair; may require temporary import bonds to avoid double duties
