Import Tips & Compliance

Verify 'used' status with documentation proving prior sale to ultimate purchaser, such as bill of sale or title transfer records, to meet statistical reporting requirements

Ensure tracks are rubber or steel suitable for agriculture; inspect for compliance with EPA emissions standards if applicable to the model year

Obtain agricultural use certification to avoid reclassification; common pitfall is importing with mounted working tools, which must be declared separately
