Import Tips

• Verify tractor's track-laying design and agricultural suitability via manufacturer specs to confirm HTS 8701.30.10 classification

• Include EPA emissions certification and proof of new condition (not sold to end-user) for U.S. customs clearance

• Avoid misclassification as construction equipment by documenting primary ag use; common pitfall is lacking soil compaction data
