Import Tips
• Provide engineering drawings showing suspension integration to customs for accurate HTS verification
• Check for EPA compliance if hydraulic components are included; pitfall is undervaluing due to bulk packaging
• Use ISPM-15 certified wood for crating to prevent quarantine issues on arrival
