Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify engine emissions meet U.S
• EPA Tier 4 standards; non-compliant units may face detention or high penalties
• Obtain original manufacturer certificates of origin and capacity specs to confirm >90.7MT payload for proper HTS classification
• Budget for specialized heavy-lift transport and secure oversized load permits; common pitfall is underestimating customs bond requirements
