Import Tips
• Report as 'new' only if unsold to end-users; retain distributor affidavits to prove chain of title
• Document agricultural end-use with spec sheets; pitfalls include reclassification if equipped for non-farm construction
• Check for required safety features like ROPS; incomplete labeling leads to customs holds
