Heavy Machinery & Equipment

Importing heavy machinery and industrial equipment involves unique challenges: oversized cargo dimensions, complex tariff classification, EPA engine emissions compliance, and often high declared values that make accurate duty calculation critical. We handle imports and Transportation & Exportation (T&E) entries for machinery of all types.

EPA Engine Certification

Non-road engines in imported machinery must comply with EPA emissions standards under the Clean Air Act. We file the required EPA Form 3520-21 for each piece of equipment, verify engine tier certification, and ensure proper documentation to avoid port holds.

T&E and In-Transit Movements

Large machinery often arrives at one port but is destined for a jobsite in another part of the country. We handle Transportation & Exportation (T&E) entries, Immediate Transportation (IT) movements, and in-bond transfers to get your equipment where it needs to be without unnecessary duty exposure.

Tariff Classification for Complex Equipment

Classification of machinery under Chapters 84 and 85 of the HTS requires understanding the equipment's principal function, whether it's a machine tool, construction equipment, or processing machinery. Misclassification can cost thousands in overpaid duties. We classify precisely and defend our classifications.

"We have imports and T&Es of heavy machinery and equipment. Whether it's a single excavator or a fleet of construction vehicles, we handle it."
