Import Tips
• Confirm the container is not considered a part of the battery itself, which would fall under a different heading
• Ensure the rubber is vulcanized and not hard rubber, as hard rubber articles are excluded from Chapter 40
• Provide product specifications to CBSA showing the container's role in packing, not as electrical equipment
