Import Tips
• Submit axle weight distribution and GVW plates; confirm spark-ignition via emissions label
• Classify as 'new' only if unsold to ultimate purchaser per statistical note; used require title transfer proof
• Check for interchangeable equipment; if presented with tractor tools, they classify separately
