• Include OEM part numbers and tractor model compatibility in invoices to prevent misclassification as generic auto parts
• Test for hydraulic fluid leaks pre-shipment; common issue is corrosion from improper storage
• Register trademarks if branded to leverage IP protections during customs clearance
