Import Tips
• Verify engine power certification does not exceed 18 kW and confirm agricultural end-use to avoid reclassification
• For new tractors, ensure no prior sale to end-user; provide manufacturer documentation per statistical notes
• Separate shipments of mounted implements to prevent classification as a set under different headings
