Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the tractor compatibility is explicitly for agricultural use via manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification under general vehicle parts

Include detailed engineering drawings and material certifications in documentation to prove it's a suspension shock, not a mounting bracket
