Import Tips
• Use OEM cross-references in entry docs to link to ag tractor models; generic listings risk 8708.99 classification
• Test for noise reduction certification; agricultural exemptions may apply but require proof
• Avoid importing with mounted working tools, as chapter notes keep those in their own headings
