Import Tips
• Label must explicitly state 'for operation only by persons at least 16 years of age' to match statistical note
• Provide manufacturer affidavit on 'new' vs 'used' status per Chapter 87 statistical reporting rules
• Check for tractor-like hauling features that could shift to 8701 if primary function changes
