Import Tips
• Provide detailed use-case documentation showing agricultural intent; avoid pitfalls by excluding non-farm attachments in declaration
• Ensure hydrostatic transmission doesn't trigger parts classification; full tractors with cabs stay in 8701
• Check for 'new' vs 'used' status per Chapter 87 statistical notes to avoid reclassification
