Import Tips
• Verify net engine power certification from manufacturer to confirm 194-257.4 kW range and 'new' status per statistical notes
• Obtain EPA or CARB emissions compliance documentation, as high-power diesel tractors require clean air act adherence
• Include detailed specifications on tracks and chassis to avoid misclassification as road vehicles under heading 8704
