Import Tips
• 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
