Import Tips
• Document track system specs showing agricultural flotation for soft soil to distinguish from industrial Quadtrac models
• Ensure 'new' status per statistical notes by providing affidavits from manufacturer confirming no prior sale to end-users
• Prepare for weight and dimension declarations as heavy-duty ag tractors often trigger additional transport regulations
