Import Tips
• Verify the crane is cable-operated via winch documentation; hydraulic models classify under 8705.10.0015
• Include crane capacity specs and chassis details in entry docs to confirm special purpose vehicle status
• Avoid misclassification as a tractor by proving primary function is mobile crane operation, not hauling
