Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the trailer's GVWR and axle configuration in documentation to confirm agricultural classification and avoid reclassification as general goods transport

Include manufacturer specs proving farm-specific design (e.g

tandem axles for rough terrain) to support HTS 8716.39.0010 entry

Check for USDA compliance if trailer has grain spill containment features; common pitfall is missing axle load certifications
