Import Tips & Compliance
• Document track type (rubber vs steel) as it affects duty; steel tracks may trigger additional scrutiny
• Comply with USDA import requirements for ag machinery; declare intended use to prevent misclassification
• Avoid presenting with mounted implements, as chapter notes keep tools in their own headings
