Import Tips
• Verify off-highway certification to avoid reclassification as on-road vehicles under 8704.23; obtain EPA off-road engine certificates
• Prepare detailed technical specs and end-use declarations; common pitfall is missing VIN-equivalent serial numbers for customs
• Ensure RoHS compliance for electronics; use specialized heavy equipment transporters to prevent chassis damage
