Ebonite Electrical Insulators from China
High-voltage insulators and bushings made from hard rubber (ebonite) for electrical applications. Chapter note 2(d) excludes electrical appliances of Section XVI, but these insulators are not complete appliances, so they fall under tariff item 4017.00.90 as 'Other' hard rubber articles.
Duty Rate — China → Canada

Import Tips
• Ensure the insulators are not part of a complete electrical appliance, which would be excluded by Chapter note 2(d)
• Provide technical specifications to the CBSA showing they are standalone hard rubber articles
• Verify they are not classified under Chapter 85 as electrical insulators of other materials
