Import Tips
• Since the Pulaski combines axe and adze functions, ensure the primary use is hewing to stay under 8201.40.90
• Provide a clear product description to CBSA to avoid misclassification as a mattock or pick
• Check if the axe meets Canadian safety standards for firefighting equipment, though this does not affect tariff classification
