Import Tips
• Include detailed technical specs and OEM payload certification in entry docs to avoid reclassification to lower-capacity headings
• Check for MSHA compliance if destined for U.S. mines; non-certified equipment requires costly modifications
• Arrange Ro-Ro vessel shipping with reinforced decking; standard containers cannot accommodate these giants
