Import Tips

Verify the vehicle's payload capacity documentation from the manufacturer to confirm it falls within 40.8-63.5 metric tons for accurate HTS classification

Obtain EPA and DOT exemptions for off-highway use; provide proof it's not for public road transport to avoid reclassification

Include detailed specs on dump mechanism (rear dump) and off-road tires in entry docs to prevent misfiling under highway trucks
