Import Tips
• Ensure the axe head is made of base metal to qualify under Chapter 82; non-metal handles are acceptable as parts
• Declare the item as a complete tool, not a part, to avoid classification disputes
• Verify if the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) applies in your destination province, as CBSA collects GST at the border
