Import Tips
• Include detailed engine specs and VIN in commercial invoice to match 'other' tractor criteria
• Check for country-of-origin rules; tractors assembled outside qualify differently under USMCA
• Avoid classifying with front-end loader as a set; loader may go under 8432 if interchangeable
